Sorry to hear about your troubles. Are you sure you didn't receive the proper credits for killing kearnyman? If I remember properly the reward was frogs, the event currency and I believe it was 100. I have a hard time remembering how much currency I have. Maybe you just didn't notice?
There was a patch released the other day. It addressed many event issues. Hope it helped you as well.
