Coworker will not tell truth sometimes...

Keep the footage as leverage in reserve. Then, when he tries to do something that threatens you in some way, show him the footage and intimidate him.

Caption the video with his exact words of denial.

My co worker the CFO of a now dead insurance company lied about my doings and I was told by the IT staff never to touch the NOVELL server.

I told them I would not as I had no training on how to use it anyway.

So I stayed clear of it and the CFO went in and typed in random passwords for the admin account and this was NOVELL server 3.11 and if you typed in the admin password too many times wrong then it gets a perma lock on it and there is no backdoor and no calls to NOVELL could regain access to the account.

This is what the CFO wanted so he can blame loss on someone else as a scapegoat.

Oh and the now dead insurance company is Principal Behavior Health Care.

This was the same shoddy insurance company that would deny coverage by hiring teens who read from a book who had no medical background and the company was under many lawsuits and eventually died a horrible failure as a company.
The head of IT management had no IT skill sets at all and knew nothing about computers and had people building computers with mis matched parts that may or may not work.

It really felt like a fly by night operation to me.

Dont show the video. At least not right away. Force this person to lie over and over again defending his original lie. Make them look you in the eye and lie one last time before showing the proof.

I have never worked anywhere that had video surveilence. A certain amount of damage is probably acceptable for equipment. Most companies insure equipment anyway. We have parts that fail on servers and PC's all the time.

I worked for a wood window factory once and the machine I was working on failed to stop when the safety device was tripped and I bashed it a few times with a chunk of wood. I was just thinking that could have been my arm being cut in half. I wasnt fired because it was a safety issue. Whatever can go wrong will.

Pretty much. I would take what he says with a grain of salt.
