My thought is that if you are 99% sure he's just holding a grudge for being fired and is being frivolous with a lawsuit, then my advice is to wait for a subpoena before discussing it by way of legal document. I'd be afraid of the guy taking a statement you prepared, and waving it in your boss' face. Not good.

I would tell him, "I won't sign a statement, but you can have your attorney subpoena me if they need witness testimony."  This guarantees that anything you have to say on the matter is legal - it tells your boss you only testified because you had to, and your statement cannot be used inappropriately by the X employee.

I would also pull him aside and say, "Look, X - You aren't doing yourself any favors hanging around here acting all put out over history. If you are really hurt, and are really considering litigation, then you should really consider keeping your distance.

Hope that helps, and good luck!
