The other thing here is that everyone seems to believe that he's being truthful when he says he worked 12 hours. What if he didn't?

It's a violation of employment standards, anyone could make a complaint over it, so no he can't easily AND legally make that choice. Is anyone going to go to jail over it? Not likely, however depending on the circumstances of how any potential accident that happens during the time over 12 hours into his shift occurs, there could be major consequences. For both himself and/or the employer.
Upset that he got crappy work? Lol, yeah he worked 12 hours at the job he hates and then decided it was time to "make a point".
Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere that he was disciplined for leaving his post. Do you think with all the press this story has been getting that that would not have been reported yet? The fact that he hasn't been disciplined should give you a pretty good indication that he legitimately worked his full 12 hours and stopped at that time.
