Lets hope that Gox has been playing by the rules in all jurisdictions. It would really suck if it turns out that they haven't.
This.... is frightening.
Why? Bitcoin is bound to get some kind of government response before it can truly take over the world and this may very well be the start of something like that. This is about as frightening as losing your first teeth; nothing but growing pains that will go away after a while.

I'm sure others thought that same thing right before the U.S. government crushed them.
You could buy Bitcoins with your MTGOXUSD and send to other exchanges with withdrawal methods to your liking.

And, my friends, in this story you have a history of this entire movement. First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you. And that, is what is going to happen to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America.

Wonder what will happen to the $1000 USD I tried to transfer to dwolla... Really hope its not seized or anything.
is it getting money into gox? or out of Gox? or both?
Both.
MtGox is outside the jurisdiction of the US government, they can't seize their accounts or anything of theirs at all.
I don't think you have met the US government!
Both.

Can a mod merge the two threads? I have a feeling this is going to be a long discussion as word continues to filter out.
I wonder if this is why volume has been so low on Gox for a while now. I wonder if the big money got tipped off and have been funneling out before this news hit?
