I think we both know what's going to happen
Historical events, sure. But their last statement was very professional and bullish. Give them a little faith. The market obviously does too, otherwise we would be much, much lower.
You thought that was a professional statement? It may have been better than the prior childish nonsense he sent out on IRC, but it was far from what an adult businessman might expect from a multi-million dollar company holding people's funds. It was too familiar, flippant, and tried to divert from the true market concerns by blaming their bank and diverting the news with their new trading engine and LTC incorporation.
It was obvious that "2 weeks" was just thrown out there. The chances of them actually connecting automated withdrawals by Monday is about 0.01%. They will panic around tomorrow when they realize they aren't going to get it setup in time - they'll probably blame their bank - and then they'll make up some BS about "manually processing" limited withdrawals "as a stop-gap favor to their customers".
...then the spread with the other exchanges will widen and another round of panic buying on MtGox will commence (with selling on the other exchanges), and once that settles a few days after you'll see the spread decrease and both MtGox and other exchanges prices fall together.
