Im willing to say yes to "Did an employee from Sony lied?" he probably had no clue at all actually. Can you point me to the official statement from Sony they would never remove the "other OS" function, I didnt read it yet. The claim of a claim by a PS3 linux maintainer on a forum should been treated as a rumor to begin with (look for whats underline):

Please understand that in my position as PS3-Linux maintainer
I can really only provide users with technical support for
Linux and the LV1 hcall interface.
The text above was provided to me by SCE management. If
you have any questions regarding it or any other feature
of the PS3 please contact the Playstation Customer Support
in your country. Using Playstation Customer Support will
insure your inquiry is processed through the correct
channels within SCE.

The guy is actually a PS3-Linux maintainer claiming that he got this confirmation from SCE. Adding that, "I can really only provide users with technical support for Linux and the LV1 hcall interface". Even him says to not take his words seriously lol. Its not his job to officially announce anything from Sony, hence should be taken as a rumor. Since when are we using technician post on a forum as a official claim from Sony?
Please note that I dont agree with Sony in removing "'other OS". I also find it borderline illegual because when you purchase a PS3 they greatly encourage you to subscribe to PSN to enjoy the whole experience. But now they simply say: "If you wanna keep it forget PSN." They shouldnt have removed the "Other OS" function. When they sold fat PS3, they advertise PSN and "other OS" as PS3 inherent features. Im only taking the time to post this because what your trying to prove "Sony are lyers" is pure fanboyism and will not get us anywhere. I cant even understand why someone started a thread named "Sonys blatant lies" and then use the claim of a claim of a technician on a forum to justify his attack. And yes, this thread should be close. A long time ago actually...
