That sounds so pathetically fake that I'd probably laugh at him outright. If true, he's not very smart... he may not have the receipt, but B&H can definitely provide a copy of the invoice to the original purchaser! The fact that the friend no longer works there is completely irrelevant... the friend can still get a copy of his invoice and give it to you.
Under no circumstances would I buy the camera without getting that invoice from B&H. If it ever turns out to have been stolen -- say, he took it out of the box and left the box in the B&H warehouse -- then you're the one whose $4,000 vanish into thin air. Stolen property will be confiscated from you, even if you purchased it innocently. And that alone makes it too big a risk, even without considering the nagging "is this thing stolen?" thought you'd carry around with you if you did buy it without the invoice to prove it.
Someone else already said it: as soon as they open tomorrow, call Henry Posner at B&H and get the story straight. Also, get the seller to give you the name of the person who bought it and check that info with Henry. If everything does match perfectly, then get a copy of that invoice, buy a third-party warranty (from B&H, for example), and love your $4,000 camera that you know is legitimate.
But if in doubt, any doubt at all... I'd stay away from it.
