Re: MtGox wires ARE delayed

So this goes to show that the US could interfere with many more USD transactions around the world if they wanted to.

And they have. In 2012 the US seized a USD wire from Denmark to Germany. It hs been reported that the US government has access to data on all international wires. See also http://www.coindesk.com/team-americas-dwolla-bashing-is-just-the-start/

Let me guess. The USD wire from Denmark to Germany used a correspondent bank in the United States. So in reality the funds went from Denmark to the United States to Germany. I doubt very much the payment could have been seized if it had been made in Euros.

Routing a payment for Cuban cigars through the United States is just very dumb, and yes it did violate US law.

Coindesk is a source now. Because they got twenty people in a pub in London together, which is the pinnacle of accomplishment, and because they're too fucking clueless to know that wasn't the first time twenty people got together in a pub in London. This is their claim to fame, and they get quoted now.

Wake up already, Bitcoin retardom.
