John,

IMHO the facts should be revealed ASAP so people can judge for themselves. Either letters were sent to the employer (presumably after the widely-acclaimed proclamation that the matter was concluded) or they weren't. IMHO all this speculation does an injustice to the tattler if the letters were *not* sent, so it's only fair to come clean now. I suppose there may be some impediments (such as an employment grievance underway?) but in that case some here may be motivated to support the employee and/or formally dispute the suggestions in the letters, which may be to the employee's great advantage.
