I know a particular individual in my locale that has lied up at a relatively young age. They're now a C-level for a major security vendor. They were fired from two major companies (F100) for failure to abide by corporate policy. The second firing was due to trying to get the parent company to buy services from a company they were attempting to start and double dipping hard. They constantly lie about having a PhD (they don't and as they were getting it from University of Phoenix in something not related to what they stated it was in). They've misrepresented themself when giving public talks stating they led a team of 50 when their team was 5 (I was on the team). They're just a cancer on society who is very extroverted and innately good at social engineering others. I ran into them at a local food establishment a month ago and they wouldn't make eye contact. I'm likely one of the few who they know knows the truth. The point I'm trying to make with this is I wish there was a way to expose people like this. They're a charlatan through and through and it's disconcerting watching them provide no value other than acting as a talking head who appears confident in the BS they're spewing.

There is. Drop a note to the HR group and board of directors at their employer. Make specific allegations and supply proof if you have it.

"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing" - John Stuart Mill. Often quoted as "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". The world needs people like you to speak up, to keep people like them in check. Do it anonymously if it suits you, but please do it.

If they're C-level, then the company's board of directors should have vetted their resume. If they claimed a degree they don't have during the process, that could get them fired (it got Scott Thompson fired as CEO of Yahoo). Assuming this is a public company, see if you can confirm from press releases that the degree was claimed, then write a letter to the board members and CC investor relations and corporate council. Someone would likely run a degree verification at that point. I would guess the previous firings would be overlooked because the firing companies likely won't say anything on the record, and lying about team size is too small to be worth proving.
