Today marks day 40 of Mt. Gox's withdraw freeze for all non-electronic currencies.
We're way past day 40. The "hiatus on withdrawals" started on June 20, 2013. This is day
90.
90 days is an important milestone. As a rule of thumb, a business creditor that's 90 days behind will probably
never pay without coercion.
There are ways to apply pressure to Mt. Gox. If Mt. Gox owes you money, file complaints with the Japan Financial Services Agency, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the small claims court in Delaware, and the Japan Payment Service Association (website for complaints:
www.s-kessai.jp). Contact reporters at Forbes, Business Week, the Wall Street Journal, and Nikkei Sangyo Shimbun.
If you're out of Mt. Gox but paid a premium to get out, a suit in Delaware Small Claims Court for any extra fees you paid might be useful.
From the Delaware Small Claims Court page: "The most you can ask for in a small claims case is $15,000" - just noting.
