Why not name the company? I'm going to be honest..I don't think this actually happened.

Telling the name privately or in a casual conversation is one thing, publishing the name is one thing.

While I wish I knew the company's name (or knew their side of the story) I don't fault him for not sharing.

I'm going to guess OP may be 'liable' for damaging the company's reputation.

No, not liable if this is true. The recruiter being fired is easily provable. It will add weight to the rest of the story.

Perhaps fear? Maybe they don't want to become an object of ridicule

He was the object of ridicule.

Things cannot get worse for him unless the company is committed to ruining its reputation. Then again someone companies have been known to release personal information when threatened.
