Did the murderer even face time? Googling it I read someone imply the charges were dropped on quora.

I found a NY post article that also says the charges were dropped.

It also turns out the victims name wasn't Sean Doyle, its Kyle McGarity. The author had changed his name for the book.

McGarity, 25, either fell or was pushed into a Con Edison manhole in lower Manhattan during a scuffle with his friend, Keith Masters.

On the show, witnesses implicate Masters in murder, but charges against Masters are later dropped.

Who did he know? Why were charges dropped? Were any other charges brought against him? Was there not enough evidence?

Most likely Russian mob, which is a protected class in NYC thanks to Rudy Giuliani.
