Or maybe he did admit it before the FBI got involved, in which case he would be in the clear.
Yea.. not sure that's still a crime if he just said "I was hacked!" and his employer got the FBI involved. If he gave a statement to the FBI... maybe.. but even then it would be a thin charge that probably wouldn't stick.

I do like how his employer got the FBI involved. They probably didn't really believe him, but they just wanted to have a good excuse to shit can him.
