It is not covered up. Well. While we can tell from NPC dialogue that people in Ul'dah are trying to suppress what happened, dialogue out side of Ul'dah says tells us it is not working well. Both Baderon and Miunne know what happened, and more than a few other NPCs also talk about knowing what is up. While the full details are probably shrouded in a haze of misinformation generating from Uldy, not everyone is buying it. The NPCs are talking, and the Syndicate is not strong enough to suppress people not in Ul'dah.
I do not think the misinformation and silence on the part of Uldy is to prevent people outside the city-state from knowing the truth or talking. The NPCs are putting out a story to prevent the situation from getting worse. They know what happened, but the streets would run red with blood if someone with authority confirmed it publicly. It prevents further chaos. To be fair, the conspiracy is not concerned with what people in other nations know. The other nations cannot act with out basically going to war with Ul'dah.
My personal prediction, Uldy is being Black Wolfed like Ala Mhigo. Someone (or someones) on the Syndicate is allied with the Empire. Chaos is being spread and a powder keg primed for eventual Garlean takeover. Random details in spoilery tag.Â
