So, in fact, you do not even know yourself what the real problem was and you
are relying on what hear say. The best way to determine who is correct is
to go investigate this for yourself. The individual must know something as
he is still on the job. Believe me, at that level, if he is a phoney; he
will soon be discovered, probably fired and possibly prosecuted.
Use your energy to develop yourself and do what you get paid for. Suppose
you are wrong, you could create a seriously painful and unpleasant situation
for an individual.
