Husband Fired for Fraud Over Coworker's Discounted Paint Purchase

My husband came home and told me that he was suspended and he was not sure why. A week later he had been fired for fraudulent activity, which was not true on his part. A co-worker came to him and asked him to borrow some money. He said no and asked the co-worker why he needed the money, and the co-worker said he wanted to purchase some paint.

My husband purchased the paint with his own credit card, and the co-worker was going to bring the money back to him like he had done before. The co-worker came back later that afternoon and told my husband that the paint was the wrong color, so my husband returned it for him. To us that was the end of it, but then the co-worker came back in and purchased the same paint at a discount from another cashier. My husband did not know this until recently. The co-worker was fired but said that my husband knew about it, and Home Depot fired him as well. I asked the manager if my husband, he, and I could sit down and talk about this.

I knew my husband would never do anything illegal, and the manager refused. I am upset that he was fired for this reason, and Home Depot will not even address its failure to provide proof that my husband was guilty of anything. Maybe being too nice to someone and believing in the company he worked for.
