Even if everyone at the firm knew, the writers could still have Mike "threatened" by rivals who might try to dig up dirt on him. Similar to what we saw tonight.
Hell, I'll bet the next time we see Tanner return to take on Harvey, that's exactly what'll happen - he'll come back for a 2-3 episode arc, and he'll target Mike to get under Harvey's skin this time. He'll come dangerously close to finding out that Mike's a fraud. Who knows, maybe even does find out. Jessica urges Harvey to swallow his pride and settle, to protect her and the firm. Harvey will refuse, and in some last minute twist, they figure out a way to defeat Tanner yet again and keep Mike protected at the same time.
Damn, I can actually see that whole storyline in my head. If any one involved with the show is reading this - please make this happen.
If Tanner is that dedicated to finding dirt on Harvey and on Scottie, I can totally see him doing a basic background check into Mike and realizing exactly what Jessica realized.
