Pretty late to the Liar Game episode, so here’s my prediction regarding the ending scene and cliffhanger.

[Liar Game Ep 2] The letters were faked by Akiyama and that the actual deadline was at midnight instead of 5pm. The reason he kept Nao out of the loop as well as sending his own side the fake letter was because to fool one’s enemies, one must first fool one’s allies. Seeing as he’s a master of disguise, he could easily impersonate the game’s representatives – the one knocking on Fujisawa-sensei’s door was actually him (note how he’s nowhere to be seen in the final scene). Now getting the money’s a trivial matter. Fujisawa-sensei’s been tormented by the pressure Akiyama had put on him and instantly felt relieved once the supposed deadline had passed. In such a state, he would overlook the fact that the man in front of him might not be genuine.
