Me thinks that Mt. Gox could solve the crisis of getting money to large swaths of their userbase rather easily by having an agent do cash deposits as does Bitcoin-Brokers. Seems to work fine and takes about a day for everyone to be happy as Bitcoin-Brokers implements things.
Where there is a will there is a way. We used to be able to get millions of dollars out to cash buyers literally floating on small craft in the middle of the Bering Sea, and that was 1970's and 1980's dollars. Ironically, most of this money originated from accounts in Japanese banks. Or at least it was Japanese firms who supplied the money. Those folks like fish!
