I've encountered many companies that are scared of lawsuits from bad references so responses, mandated by HR, are often limited to employment dates, and other very generic information. The mentality is, that person isn't our problem anymore, let someone else deal with them.

On this case the person's problem is law enforcement. Basically they just need to pass off details to the FBI / local police and have the ex-admin arrested and put on trial. What he did was a crime

If a company walks away from this and doesn't take legal action; they should themselves get sued by their customers.

Destroying company property is a crime; wether it's defacing a website or ... it's not your property; you are just hired to maintain it (in one shape or another)
