So, a lot of big news the past couple of days, with BS&T closing and people waiting to see whether pirate will pay back depositors or if it's a ponzi as many on the forums had speculated.

What I want to ask is - could Pirate already have cashed out his remaining BTC (being responsible for the crash)?

He'd then have an entire week to move the funds (and himself) somewhere safe, before people realised that they weren't going to see their BTC again.
Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.
