Can employer take his 401k fees from my account?
I left his employ over a year ago, he is likely going bankrupt. To allow me to transfer my 401 he had to pay $2600 in fees he owed, so he had them taken from my account.

This sounds illegal to me. You should speak to the company that managed the IRA about this and whether that was a correct source of those funds. If not, you should consider suing him. You can sue for up to $2500 of that in small claims court in Arizona. No attorneys.
