What a touching story.
Just a word of advice. It seems that this guy is very slippery. If you want to nail him down, take every measure to ensure that he does not escape, and if possible try not to let him distract you because I believe that he will sense that something is brewing in the office and plan ahead to pin the blame back on you with more lies.
Be calm when dealing with him, because if you lose your temper in an office environment it'll only look bad on you. Expect a lawsuit if the company which he chose does not get their money, and expect him to place liability on the company. It would also be best to prepare for software sabotage as soon as he is informed of this whole mess.
Yes, your boss is right that you should have watched him more carefully. If you did your research a few weeks ago, it wouldn't have escalated into what it is now. Unless you did it on purpose to get him fired? Office politics is fun.
