More threats? You are not helping your case any. You better see a lawyer and I'll bet the first thing he tells you is "Shut Up".

Wow--you are totally ignoring a bunch of good advice and just continuing to use this forum as a place to vent your frustration. Seems like you're not ready to listen.

I'm in a weird situation for which I cannot find an example online and this forum seems to have a lot of employment related issues. I was recently employed in a high tech position where I was assigned to a project that was doomed to failure for technical reasons that I told them about. After the project failed as predicted they ended my employment for "budgetary reasons".

I have since received a letter informing me that I have been terminated for cause because I engaged in activities that violated policy after I got laid off. They also sent me a check that lacked money for a time period after the layoff for which they promised to pay me.

I have since contacted my former employer and demanded payment. He said that after I was informed of the lay off and sent home on my last day I was still technically an employee there despite being told that I was laid off.

Can you legally tell am employee that they have been laid off and terminate them later just because you think they published something online that makes you look bad?
The only one difference between laid off and termination for cause referes to unemployement compensation.
Otherwise, in both cases you are practically fired.
Hire an employement attorney. If you have a case, probably it will cost you around $300-500, but at least for one year you will have some money coming in.
At your next job, keep copies of correspondence in regard of projects you are responsible for. One day you might need them. Do not wait to the day of termination - you won't be able to access anymore your workplace computer

Have fun behind bars. Blackmail is a felony. You should be out in 8 years with good behavior.
