Moral of the story: don't give your boss more information than what's necessary. In this case, this employee made the mistake of telling his boss the name of the company that poached him with an enticing offer of double the salary. The employee wasn't even looking for another job, but as they say in The Godfather, it was an offer he couldn't refuse.
So what happened after he gave two weeks and mistakenly revealed the name of the new company to his now former boss? Well, that boss literally called up the Redditor's new boss and tried to sabotage his chances. Luckily, nothing materialized and the Redditor's new job was completely safe, but if I were him, I would leave the old job immediately no matter how many days of those two weeks have passed. Many folks in the comments suggest the same thing. He doesn't owe his former boss anything, especially after that nonsense.
