They could argue that he knew, and that since they were roommates they were benefitting from it, so was guilty by extension for nit reporting the theft.

Also, if in the US, a lot if places are "at will" and can fire you for whatever for the most part.

There are still caveats to the at will practice.

Anyway, this goes to show that your employer will screw you over the first chance they get; so screwing over your employer isn't immoral.
