What was wrong with him attempting to wipe his laptop?

  It probably highlights that he was trying to cover his trail? (Also if he wrote his fork bomb and AD lockout thing on company time using company hardware, then deleting his code for them might count as destroying company property?)

    But wouldn’t you do that even if you had nothing to hide? I’ve always cleared why work machines to the best of my abilities

      I keep my personal stuff off my work machines specifically because I'll be handing them back intact. If you've done some work on that machine but not saved it anywhere else it's still company property and wiping the machine is destroying it. No one is likely to give you trouble over it unless they go looking for something you supposedly had, but if they wipe it instead of me there's no risk of a misunderstanding. This is good practice anyway, if your laid off or fired unexpectedly, likely your going to be locked out of your machine without notice and without opportunity to clean up.
