wow, thanks for the info guys. I'm new to BTC so yep it had me stumped. I never saw the threads talking about it.
I just figured why in HELL would people buy BTC there since it's 100$ more and second question why would people use it if you can't withdraw.
Then yet another question..... why haven't people sued yet?
Why doesn't MT.GOX just die?

It is dying. Just they aren't putting it on their home page. One day we will wake up and there will be nothing there. Just a lot of angry ex-customers owed money (or BTC)
I have been waiting for that day for a long time.
I am so confused why it is still in business lol.
Just because they were the first. Links from articles to them are still all over the Net. Articles don't disappear unfortunately. Noobs still gravitate towards Gox, knowing nothing of the horrors that await them (ghoulish laugh).
If bitcointalk is the very first result when people search the word "bitcoin" on google, mtgox would probably die then
Its also the fault of most news media outlets. When CNBC shows the current quote and chart for BTC, they use a graph showing the Gox exchange. So people see that, and are like, well, if its on TV, it must be the place to buy a Bitcoin!
They also like it because it shows the highest price. Why do you think they love to report the price of the DOW vs. the S&P 500 Index? Technically the S&P is a better indicator of how the "market" did today. But its not as sensational to say, wow the S&P dropped 50 points today vs. the DOW dropped 200 points today! Which is worse? S&P dropping 50 points is WAY worse!
Of course . think of bitcoin, think of gox. That will change the day they go bust and steal everyone's money.
