We're a few weeks early for an April Fool's joke, so against my better judgment, I'm going to assume this is a serious post.

That's utterly ridiculous. Who would keep such receipts? And what former employer is going to agree to do a line-by-line logbook audit? Not all companies even track such things, particularly their pilots are salaried instead of hourly.

As for notifying the FAA of falsification, if the FAA wants to play along with that, they need to create a FAR requiring pilots to maintain archives of their receipts, establishing low long such records must be kept, etc. Frankly, I don't see it happening.
