and this is why I keep recommend people move over to things like localbitcoins.com
Seriously all trades are usually completed in under 5 minutes, none of this wait a few days to hope it appears in my bank account eventually.
Also, fees, almost none compared to every other exchange I've used before.
They don't hold your fiat currency, just the Bitcoin, so as long as you stick to deal with people who are relatively local and do a bank transfer you always get instant payments.
I do feel sorry for those stuck in a bad situation with these exchanges, but move on a different type of exchange, not another of the same breed wearing different clothes. Until banks feel comfortable with Bitcoin (which might never happen), unfortunately exchanges which use them are going to get screwed and screw over their customers every so often. So stop using exchanges which rely on that relationship.
