The moral of the story is: don't be a whistleblower unless it's for some area of industry where the government gives you immunity and a few million in cash. Or, be prepared to never work in that industry again: this is whistleblowing 101, so don't be surprised.

(Not that I think he is blowing the whistle on anything, really. It sounds like he was upset that he was fired so he tried to make his Outlook dump sound interesting enough to get himself some media attention. It didn't work.)
