just let him get the website back up so I can get my money/BTC out before you visit him. I would hate to see anything happen to the person that has my money before I was able to get it back.

I would be quite worries about that happening if I was running mt.gox. Basically you have an office with $15M in cash lying around (considering mt.gox controls 500k BTC). Anyone can walk in and force mt.gox to transfer all those BTC's to his wallet and there is absolutely nothing he can do to either get those funds back or try to find out the identity of that thief.
A normal bank doesnt have $15M in cash in their vaults and they are much better secured then 2 nerds in a communal office building.

In all fairness to MtGox, most banks have little more than old/retired people serving as 'armed security', and often don't even have that. 

Granted, they do have vaults.  But how is that different from storing wallet files on encrypted/removable drives?  One takes a combination to open.  The other takes a password.  A criminal could conceivably 'force' a banker to open a safe, just as much as force MtGox to decrypt the wallet file.



Vaults have time delay locks and it is very common for people banks to not have access to any cash. I cant even get cash anymore at my local branche, I have to use an ATM.

I doubt that a normally prudent person would have the wallet file/s for all of those btc in their office all in one place.

Then again... MtGox... Just look under the doormat  Tongue
