"Evidence even suggested he had the same scam going across multiple companies in the area. All told, it looked like he earned several hundred thousand dollars a year, and only had to pay the Chinese consulting firm about $50,000 (£31,270) annually."

I wouldn't employ him. He's a massive security risk. What he did isn't technically clever enough to employ him like you would some hackers.
Was he prosecuted?

9:00 a.m. – Arrive and surf Reddit for a couple of hours. Watch cat videos
11:30 a.m. – Take lunch
1:00 p.m. – Ebay time
2:00-ish p.m – Facebook updates, LinkedIn
4:30 p.m. – End-of-day update e-mail to management
5:00 p.m. – Go home
So is that a typical day of one of you home working developers then? And what is it with cat videos?

They say they fired him, but I hope they kept the outsourced team who were clearly better than their own people.

Fair play, I'm sure we all wish we could have pulled this one off.
Sounds like he may have been worth employing cos of his initiative.
