Furlong did lie. Let's not forget that. At first he denied being in BC during an earlier stint in Burns Lake, then he admitted it, downplaying the commission of almost 2 years of his life and his original start in Canada. While that doesn't mean he hid something, it does bring up the matter of deception and convenient forgetfulness.

That si why he has zero claim for libel or wrongful dismissal.

So let him get on with his life, but not as a trusted public speaker or figure. His showboating style (Evermet him? Lots of self-promotion in his personality) is something he paid a price for.
