Another dude posting about the same issue had his withdrawal blocked: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-this-for-real-477327
The Gox misery is putting heavy pressure on the other exchanges. real exchanges would suspend trading if that happened and even halt withdrawals.. you bet on it.

Have just requested withdrawal of 30btc. Status: "Waiting to be processed"
why would you ever keep 30btc on an exchange? keeping over like .5 not in a wallet seems stupid.
Because I've just bought it for cheap
Guys, please spread more FUD so I can buy more at $300 or less.
OP's title is a wee bit sensational. Tone it down a tiny bit, please?
+1, FUD
I AM SO SICK OF THIS, BITCOIN IS FUCKING DEAD AND THE FOUNDATION IS JUST DOING NOTHING!
LOL. Bitcoin is working fine.
Centralized exchanges... not so much.
Apparently the bridge between Bitcoin and fiat is very difficult to build.
Oh yes it is very. But indeed it is on it's way

And here is user/hazek (of Bitstamp)'s reply, just this second. Rather terse, they should really work on their communication, but in principle what most of use suspected:
There are no general Bitcoin withdrawal issues presently. User's who are reporting that they are unable to withdraw Bitcoins will be notified individually via email.

Just withdrawed btc from stamp, worked like a charm.
Probably the same people who engineered the market collapse at MtGox are trying to achieve similar results with Bitstamp.
This attack is probably just the start, they'll try to create panic by spreading FUD, hoping to crash hard the price on Bitstamp too.

I have not received this email.
Here's what I posted before, in the bitstamp thread and the wall thread:
re: Bitstamp withdrawal.
Might be some automatized safety thing, that wasn't exactly thought through very well?
Maybe something like: If IP address changes regularly, stop withdrawal. Something moronic like that.
Aaanyway...
Just bought 1 btc for testing purposes, and btc withdrawal works for me, as they always did. Arrived at my address a few minutes later.
NOTE: I'm not denying that some accounts have problems withdrawing, but at least we know that not all accounts are affected.
