This is most definitely against Facebook's internal policies. Therefore, the employee "exceeded access rights" on a protected computer system, by doing something they clearly were not allowed to do. That is a violation of the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act), which is a federal felony. Further, the person that actually has possession of the account is likely guilty of either bribery or "honest services fraud" [1] for inducing an employee to break the law in exchange for money or other enticements.
