your investigative work is excellent @ura-soul. great to see! so if they knew before hand, what exactly were they trying to buy time for is the question? there is something on that exchange that they need off quickly. not quite managed to figure out what yet, maybe steem they needed to trade out to pay ned? maybe someone else? I also think that it may have occurred that putting in the HF (if run by Tron) for short power downs would have made it easy power down the steemit inc stake, send it to exchanges and hide it effectively by sending it back out to multiple smaller accounts.

Thanks - my brain sponge comes in useful sometimes ;)
They may possibly need to withdraw STEEM quickly for some reason. The most obvious one is as you say, that they want to sell Steemit inc's tokens for their own reasons. They may also need to save face with the exchanges and the world by ending and burying the fake 'hack' they raised an alarm about ("let's just move forward and not talk about the past" - aka deny reality).
Those two are enough imo.
