Hi there!
MTGox has taken over a month to wire a bank transfer, and I still don't have the money in the bank yet. I am aware of all of the trouble, the freeze and the backlog, but this seems excessive, as far as the amount of time the transfer is taking. I am kind of wondering if I'll ever see the money. When they used OKPAY, things went smoothly. Is there a faster, reliable way to get USD for BTC? Is BTC-E still running well, and are they faster?
Thanks in advance!

1) Cancel MTGox transfer

2) Withdraw BTC to your wallet (expect a BS account validation maneuver)

3) Sell on Coinbase

4) Get funds with no problem.

That's exactly what I did yesterday, the reason Gox has that spread is because everyone is trying to get their money out of USD to BTC - really seems like Gox has liquidity issues - I've never heard of anyone taking 3 to 4 weeks to process bank withdrawals.
