sturle, thank you for your efforts to provide factual and level-headed information. Regarding this:
Regarding other fiat withdrawal option, I expect most of their problems will be resolved within a month, and the fastest fiat withdrawal option (except domestic JPY and manual express international wire) to take less than a week before Christmas. I'm willing to bet 1 BTC on this.
I haven't seen any evidence that the international wire transfer situation is improving. What do you base your optimism on? Do you have information that isn't publicly known?
