I have 8 measly bitcoins at Mt. Gox and I can't get them out. I get this message: "Your account is currently pending review, please visit
https://mtgox.com/forms/verification"
I have to get a security review to withdraw 8 bitcoins now? I'm not asking for USD, I'm asking for my bitcoins. Is this a new policy or what?
There were a number of mtgox account thief cases recently, and the oweners bitcoins were wipe clean.
The verification (whether effective or no) is just an additional measure to protect the owner, especially when you are emptying out that account.
