Can anyone confirm this conversation? If this is true, then we need to escalate this to a major news source. Gox needs to be outed for the fraud that it really is.
I can confirm it - it's on my screen now in the #mtgox channel on freenode.

NOT due to problems with Mt.Gox's banking connections, which they have used as an excuse the last 2 months.
