Why couldn't he just shut it down if he wanted to? What's the purpose of wasting that much money slowly?

If he shut it down then the masses would flood to a handful of new options and a replacement would emerge in a week or two.

By dragging it out, it slows that down.

Also, if he shut it down, he'd get a week or two of headlines. This way he can milk a year of it.
