I imagine this is going to be dealt with harshly. The government is very protective of tourists. Immediately after the 2011 earthquake, a member of my party was crossing a bridge. This annoyed some soldiers who began pelting him with rocks. One of our guides demanded that the soldiers stop trying to kill his client and got punched out. When the situation cooled down, the soldiers explained that they weren't sure if the bridge was stable after the quake. Go figure. The solider who threw a punch was fined at least a month's wages. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these guys didn't see employment on Everest again.
