The problem they have is not to resend pending withdrawals. They could do it for free with bitcoin-qt or any other mainstream client.
Their problem now is knowing who cheated with their buggy accounting and have a (virtually) negative balance.
They have to :
- review all "failed" withdrawals of the last 6 months
- find those that were manually or automatically re-credited and then sent twice to the same person
- try to "reclaim" some of the balances if they were transferred internally after the stop (I expect very bad surprises for those who bought discounted Goxcoins last week)
- put a big red sign on any account that had a suspicious activity
- calculate the loss they have to take (sum of negative balances from non solvable clients),
- know if they are broke or not
- decide whether they tell us or not...

Thanks for the reply. Indeed that is what they would have to do in the "best case" assumption that the only problems were the hack and their incompetence at handling it.
My guess is that (because of the hack or some other reason) they know that they do not have enough bitcoins or cash to cover all the legitimate client account balances, so they may have to do a "haircut" on them. That indeed would require a full auditing before any further withdrawals.
