Ask HN: What to do about a fake cofounder?

Hi all,

What happens when someone you fired a while ago claims they're a co-founder on Linkedin?

Basically hired a terrible independent contractor, and had to fire him a few months later. He now claims he is a co-founder, despite the contract stipulating that he clearly is just an independent contractor.

Last thing I want are investors asking about him. I fear he has lots of baggage.

Would it be OK for me to re-post this question?
