It's not about short term or long term with regards to the halt. From my perspective it would be done with a PR release from management stating that they called for the halt to prevent more damage by any further false allegations. They would announce a dividend with intent to buy back shares when the stock trades again, and trading would coincide with release of the 10K.
It wouldn't be longs saying 'they got my 'f'n money!' it would be shorts saying 'I'm screwed'. The whole purpose would be to show that if you mess with them, they will make you pay. You never know they might release some news tommorrow and then at the pop halt the stock.
