Let it go.

He's not going to last long in the recruiting business pulling stunts like that. Those guys get most of their candidates from personal referrals & their clients from people like your employer. Both of those bridges are burned.

I agree. Where I work, they keep a blacklist of companies/recruiters. They will never ever talk to those in the blacklist. This list was built over a period of time by people who worked at different places. So it is fairly long/comprehensive.
