The only possible problem I can see is if Gator was editing Wikipedia while at work. That potentially raises liability and reputation issues for the company since he was doing whatever this letter accused him of doing, on company time.
Otherwise, it's just embarrassing -- anything that makes a company take the time to say "what in the world is this?" brands someone as a potential problem employee, even if the action taken really does no harm to the company itself.
