For example it currently takes up to 10 days to process a deposit because our bank, upon receiving deposits, notifies us of the deposit but holds them for 7~10 days before transferring them to our account. This has always been the case, and we were still crediting customer accounts before receiving the funds ourselves, but some cases in which the bank subsequently rejected the deposits meant that we incurred significant losses.

Literally, the next sentence "The risk is now too high for us to credit accounts prematurely."

Your reading skills = terrible.

more explication for you since you dont get it, the usd automatic credit on mtgox got stopped on june nobody knows how much the loss for mtgox was and if they manage to cover that from fees
1) send wire
2) get the fiat credited
3) buy bitcoin
4) take bitcoin out
5) wire denied
6) ops mtgox got a loss
7) wee free bitcoin
8 ) some one has the usd but this never got wired
9 ) the someone use said USD to place a bid

If they are adequate enough to comprehend that paragraph surely they are adequate enough to comprehend that minuscule sentence! I didn't really mean anything by it anyway, just giving him a hard time.

There are only a little over 20 mil dollars on mtgox. (at least according to the order book)

My rationale behind this is that almost everybody had their USD somewhere in a bid during the rally. It might go as high as about the double of that overall, which I doubt, but for sake of the argument lets assume it is true. 40mil wouldn't change anything in that regard.

I get the strange suspicion that Avalon tried to leverage their way into a larger Bitcoin stash, (payed for expenses on credit) and now are looking for the easy way out.

That they fake something like this could mean that it isn't going to well for them.

hasn't bitcoin increased in worth since they first started taking payments?

That doesn't stop them from trying. Who knows what their real expenses are.

And the price increase is much less pronounced in these quantities. There are only a little over 20 mil dollars on mtgox. (at least according to the order book)

one word: overpaid

with your narrow vision maybe.

LOL

If I had billions, with that clout I would choose to do so many things, one of which would be to do what this article theorized. $200M could be multiplied rather quickly if invested in various avenues provided by Bitcoin. ROI would be in the time frame of a few years.

thats not the point the point is fair price

$200M set aside for a 10+ year grand scheme that might not have fiat returns and progressive fiat expenses for awhile isn't unreasonable.
