After the event has started and they've gotten every available penny out of their evaporated good will, there will be "unexpected complications" that last all day. The people who flew to New York will freak out, the youtubers will make excuses, and Hanke will quietly extract all of niantic's money while fleeing to a foreign country. The game will limp along for a week or so while everyone realizes that they aren't getting paid this month, and it will go offline without a word. Players won't even know what's happening until the embezzlement scandal makes headlines for a few days and Nintendo vows that they will never do a geocache game again.
