I hated on how this episode ended. I thought Mr. Krabs was going to learn is lesson but no. He just used his dollar to print out to make more money. He should have gotten arrested in this episode. So here's my alternate ending.

At the Krusty Krab, everyone is mad at Mr. Krabs

Martha: Task master!

Mr. Krabs: What's going on?

Martha: You should know!

Mr. Krabs sees the newspaper

Mr. Krabs: Krabs Overworks Employees? Reaps Reward? Krabby Kronicle mastermind behind bogus stories pays his tired, underage reporter pennies while he rakes in the dough?!

Martha: How could you do that to such an innocent child?! That is sick an inhumane!

Sandy: Not to mention the fact that he's written lies about us!

Plankton: I lost my restaurant because of you!

Larry: All the kids in town want to beat me up for lunch money.

Larry begins to cry

Mrs. Puff: And I had to go back to watching (begins crying) daytime television.

Martha: That's it! We're taking our money back!

They barge in and take all their money back

Mr. Krabs: NO! (begins crying)

SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs are you okay?

Mr. Krabs: How can I be okay when me money's gone? All gone. It just goes to show, trying to make an easy buck doesn't pay. (pulls out a dollar) Or does it?

Spongebob quickly takes the dollar

Mr. Krabs: Hey?

SpongeBob: Are you kidding? Have you still not learn your lesson?

Mr. Krabs: What are you talking about?

SpongeBob: Are you serious?! I thought for sure you were going to learn your lesson about that story but it seems you still don't seem to care. You really don't care that everyone's lives were ruined. So I'm doing the only thing that's right. Telling your mom!

Mr. Krabs: No not me mommy.

SpongeBob: I'm sorry but it's for your own good. You have to learn the consequences of your actions.

SpongeBob runs out the Krusty Krab to tell Mr. Krabs mom as Krabs runs up to him

Mr. Krabs: No please don't tell my mom!

They run they past Patrick and his "wife" which is the pole. Patrick is wondering on why they're running

Patrick: What's with them? Did he say the bad words again?

There's my alternate ending. I seriously hated on how he still didn't care that he ruined everyone's lives. It seems that the only thing he cares about is his money.
