Yeah, don't get involved in this war.
These sorts of lies can come about for a few reasons. Sometimes, people just start out with a small lie for some attention/sympathy, and before they know it, it gets bigger than they ever expected and it is too much to back out of.
When they finally are exposed, it becomes very embarrassing and distressing.
Other times, it is for attention (like internet trolling) and all of the outrage it causes.
Either way, it indicates that this guy probably has some psychological needs that aren't being met elsewhere.
It doesn't sound like you are close enough to "save" him. If you are, then a quiet word as to how this all came about would probably be the most appropriate thing. If not, well, it's probably best just to back away quietly...
