SA climber nabbed dodging hefty Everest fee

Why would he be hiding from the Nepalese officials if he didn't know how much it cost ?

It's possible but very unlikely that he only found out about the permit cost once he got to Nepal. My guess is that he got a whole bunch of people to donate for his expedition but not enough to cover the permit. Rather than return the money he decided to take a chance...very dodgy either way.
