100% inaccurate. EA is legally bound to uphold any and all contracts negotiated by BioWare. If there was a contract in place, EA will have to uphold it. In fact, EA had to negotiate publishing rights with MS for the PC version of Mass Effect.
It's not as if a company can buy up another company and then ignore said company's debt, leaving all bills unpaid because "they didn't buy those products". This is the same thing.
With that said, I expect ME2 to be multiplatform.

Good luck with that, Pig. I tried the same a couple of posts up and I don't think anyone believes it. The make-believe land of "EA can do whatever it wants" will be the prevailing belief without regard to pre-existing, legally-enforceable contracts.
BUT, as you said, EA is a cash whore. They will milk every IP for everything it is worth. I'm sure they'll find a way to go multi-plat with ME2 and ME3.

I think you're kind of ignroing the fact that BioWare have said themselves that they could make a PS3 version of the game if they wanted too, which means that there aren't any legal roadblocks.
This fact has been quoted several times in this thread already.

Are you talking about this quote from the biowareforum you posted with Christ Priestly member of Bioware?
"They sure didn't. They paid over $860 million. 
Sorry folks, this is just another rumor at this stage. Could BioWare make Mass Effect for the PS3 (or the PC, or some other platform) in the future? Yes we could, but we are not working on a PS3 version currently."
To me that doesn't say Bioware could if they wanted to.
