This was my thought was as well. I thought they were in on this before it hit the public media. For me, it was like in the movies when the feds are trying to tap the line and the person is trying to keep the bad guy on the line as long as possible so they can trace the call?
My theory is the feds encouraged Colonial to string it out in order for them to get as much information on the hacking team as possible. From what we're seeing now (bitcoin seized, servers seized) it sounds like the Feds have them nailed pretty good and their gamble paid off.
