The company should have had a long discussion with legal and posted a public statement. The CEO shouldn't have gone on his website and posted a comment as a response that sounds like a 5 year old having a temper tantrum.

I never said I was happy with the quality of yishan's response. I just disagree with:
"Whatever the employee may have done to deserve separation, it is profoundly weird and troubling (and also, implicitly threatening to all employees, whatever their rank or standing) to see a CEO discuss those reasons in public."
Going through legal and posting a public statement is still discussing those reasons in public under the psuedonym of the CEO with the words benig ghostwritten by legal.

Ok, I agree with you then that the company should have released a response. I think what the root comment was discussing was not the fact that they released a response but how they released it and the content of that response.
