The CEO was asked point blank if he could get his money back or if there are any Bitcoins left.
The CEO could not answer.
The latest Mt.Gox press release says that you can now deposit Bitcoin, but not withdraw.
Topic: MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering] - page 138. (Read 908727 times)
rpietila, you should kiss sturle's feet for having pending USD withdrawals on Mt.Gox now which you can cancel and buy the absolute cheapest Bitcoin on the market with. (And hopefully withdraw them soon, but risk is your middle name anyways...)
he payed a premium, to get his BTCs out of gox. thats why he is pissed and calling everyone a criminal who refuses to spread FUD about gox being insolvent. he could have trippled his money, if he just believed the facts instead of the FUD. poor guy!
when you read his last post, you can see that he has one last hope: gox is indeed insolvent and nobody will get out his BTCs which would justify his actions. he will have a big disapointment soon...

don't talk to him, he might sue ya after telling you how you assisted mtgox in committing a federal crime, as any good murcan would do.

~175 coins just dumped on Gox at $337... who are these ppl?
maybe ppl who bought it for $70 and don't f*ing care anymore
There seems to be good news everywhere that Gox will resume BTC TX soonish. Any scenario where this could not happen? Unless Gox is developing a huge scam, TX should resume soon, right?
All winds blow to they will be back on track very soon I also requested a small withdraw (160+€) on 27th Jan. and its status changed from 'confirmed' to 'pending', it's not bullshit. Still it's small amounts and only information, I guess queue is processing but it's definitly only some information, not a "MtGox is solvent and cool" statement. Plus this thread name is "MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering]" so don't be mad if people are posting their story about their withdrawals...
Edit : btw, remember BTC withdrawals and Fiat ones are not related
wow! finally some improvements! i got one SEPA withdrawal since 29th, still confirmed, but the amount is larger.
i'll keep you posted
Yeah I got 1K EUR confirmed since the 29th as well. Who will get it first?

Fresh statement posted at Gox, in case you have not seen it yet.
It is interesting the goxBTC is trading at only 50-60% of bsBTC. Have you thought about the following scenario:
I think they are just too stupid to fix the problem within the same timeframe as the other exchanges are able to.
As soon as they are, the price will jump onto the level of bitstamp or higher again. If I had FIAT there I would buy GOX-BTCs now.
but intelligent enough to commit a financial services crime;
2. Gox manipulated the market with this issue
mind you, it could also be put into the pigeon hole of 'complete and utter stupidity'
Certainly sounds like a bunch of morons to me.
No doubt once they came up with the excuse to stop people getting their BTC, they then played the financial scam to to advantage.
Clearly software design skills and financial scam skills are unrelated ... as MtGox has proven
indeed, where the incompetence of their software dev's was the first problem, and could be seen as simple human error, the events which have evolved over the past week or so (months - with regards to fiat withdrawals) are unforgivable.
One look at the price disparity between MTGOX and all other Bitcoin exchanges and it becomes clear, the market has spoken and called MTGOX out on its BS.

Yup you can still deposit bitcoin but you can't withdraw.
Really not that surprising.
still blaming the 'T-M' and not their own method of accounting I see.

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "

"(...) Once the implementation is complete customers will again be able to deposit bitcoin, but we will be doing extensive testing before bitcoin
withdrawals are reactivated. We will publish an update on the situation on Monday ."
Well something is happening, still no confirmation on BTC withdrawals though.
There seems to be 2 issues here:
1. Withdrawal of BTCs
2. Gox manipulated the market with this issue
It looks like the withdrawal of BTCs will be resolved soon (still speculative though).
For me personally, the second issue is pretty much irrelevant, bc I will get my BTCs out of there as soon as I can and never work with Gox again. And I will never be able to take Gox to court for the loss I incurred with this (my time and paying lawyers will be more expensive than the money I could get ever back).
As I can't fix that problem, it stops being a problem for me. Even if personally I am very pissed with them and I am sure many people are incredibly angry with them due to the large amount of financial losses.
I can sleep better tonight.

There are now sure a lot of people in line now. Almost all have sold and must get out the FIAT. Coins are indeed locked. By the way: Something new from Gox?
If you have fiat waiting in line to cash out from Gox at this point you are doing it wrong. I bet a lot of big cash-outs have been canceled the last couple of days.
