If this is true, could he get in legal trouble and be required to pay everything back?

I was wondering this. I imagine you could make a good case that they offered an employment contract, you accepted, and then they chose not to take advantage of your efforts for any tasks. I'd hope that if you could show that you acted in good faith and tried very hard to get them to give you work, then you'd be totally in the clear.

Why would the employee need to prove anything beyond having a contract?

There may be something like a statue of limitation where if Twitter didn't find the error within some period of time they can't claw it back.

If he had a contract and didn't do anything then he breached it.
