While it is dishonest to claim credit for the Fiverr job, isn't it a smart thing to do? I mean if this person was in management instead and said "we can outsource this on Fiverr and save a ton of money instead of hiring these devs fulltime", they'd get a bonus, no?
In an interview, I gave a problem to a candidate and asked him how he'd tackle it. He said he'd google for a solution first. At that moment, I recall having a dilemma of choosing between "smart guy" and "no good as a problem solver". He turned out to be the latter, but it was a conceivable answer from a smart and capable candidate too.

Not really - if you aren't authorized to do that as a developer, it's likely because of IP issues, etc; IOW, you have access to privileged info (the code and IP) - and you are supplying it to an outside 3rd party without permission from your employer. If all that happens is you get fired - you are lucky. A very expensive lawsuit would be a more likely outcome, depending on the company and their resources, and whether they want to "make an example". It's not much different than taking their code and handing it to a competitor.
