... None of that delay comes from money-laundering regulations or conspiracy theories involving governments. This is plain, ordinary "they don't have enough money" stalling.
Why do you think Mt.Gox doesn't have enough money? You do realize Mt.Gox was making money on BTC years ago when it was less than $0.50. You don't think they loaded up on BTC which is now worth over $100 (over a 10,000% increase)? I may not know much about their USD, but I'll bet anything they have a ton of BTC worth millions in USD at the very least.
Yep i agree, i'm just gunna guess gox is the largest BTC holder by far. Gox seem very keen to promote bitcoin have you all noticed ?
If they were to run off with customer money it would probably cost them more vs paying customers back because of lost BTC community investment/confidence. Overall its a very bullish time for BTC over the next few years.
