I realize my withdrawls will be restricted, but as long as I can buy bitcoins fast, this is fine.
If they initiated the status that you are required to verify, then your account is like being locked until you verify. If you send funds via bank wire but have a pending verification (or send the funds prior to beginning the verification step), you should be able to buy bitcoins with those funds. There's no guarantee as Mt. Gox can freeze the account for AML verification at any time but if you just send the funds and are not using Tor, you should be able to buy coins with them.
