That is why he was hired as your subordinate. I believe in honesty as well, but corporate rarely agrees. He knew who you were talking about. He was probably caught out when he did it again to someone who kept receipts because they saw what he did to you. I would head off any complaints to HR by taking a copy of your resume and explaining what happened and your decision to tell your story in a vague way to keep this from happening to someone else. My husband has a boss who did this and blamed it on one of my husband's friends. It happens.
