I'm sceptical - if the junior ("J" for short) was "caught red handed", that means he was working on another project, at work during office hours - if J was "reported" by a colleague, that says his actions were blatant enough to be noticed by others - I can't think of many places where it would be legally sound to demand an employee pay back salary - by the author's own account, J was not actually sued - if J really was under legal threat, they'd have had to do something serious for an employer to bother getting legal involved, and not merely cutting them loose. Lawyers are expensive. - the author says J is "her junior" but also seems to be relying on J's account of what happened. Is this someone reporting to her, or a stranger? The whole post is badly written and ambiguous. I don't really believe a word of it.
