He didn't lie about having a PhD from Harvard.

LinkedIn doesn't allow one to differentiate between being enrolled in a PhD program, or having completed a PhD program

The common practice when enrolled in a PhD program is to list using a future completion date, making clear that you have not yet completed the program.

Google knew he was enrolled in this program when they hired him.

Good point, I wasn't aware of LinkedIn's abilities with that.
