From what they said it sounds like the issue was executing the same withdrawal request more than once, unrelated to the bitcoin confirmation window. The fraudulent withdrawals had to happen on the same second, not merely on the same hour.

That’s correct. I read the indictment and the first one was done within 5 seconds of deposit, while the next successful one was after 24 minutes.
