> Now think for a second - what if the guy puts everything he downloaded (sourcecode, etc) in a torrent, or pass the pdfs they were so willing to protect on wikileaks? What if he start using his knowledge to create not "giant hacks", but small hacks that could masquerade as bugs ? (say randomly turn off live access, hijack random xbox live accounts, etc)

What if he clandestinely does this after he appeared to "genuinely care about the security of your company?" What if he does this after failing the background check or turning down the job?

I don't think you can fire somebody from illegal computer intrusion. Microsoft and Epic have probably done some expensive security audits, while the suspected hacker is whining to Kotaku about how law enforcement has searched and seized all his stuff.
