Need help, please!! after getting the visa...

So, my boyfriend who's from Malaysia was very lucky to get the DV visa last week. And he was planning to come to US in May. However, here is the problem: back in 2011, he was on OPT(after his undergraduate studies with F-1 visa) status, but he had a overall more than 90 days unemployment, which means he overstayed (for about 2-3 month) before he left US in 2011. My question is, is the US custom going to find out this overstay? My guess is that they really need to look at IRS records (tax filing), otherwise how would they know since it wasn't on his visa or passport. Will there a chance that my boyfriend may be rejected at the custom? Thank you so much! I'm so so so worried now.......

My guess is that it wouldn't come up at the point of entry, but it might if/when he goes for citizenship. However, since they have to connect the dots, even that might not come up - it isn't as easy to spot as other types of overstay.
