I Just got a >90000 CAD swift withdrawl fram Sept. 9 although it was less
that 90000 because i paid the 5% emergency fee.
Everything seems good with Gox. They are an upstanding business
having temporary problems due to governments and third parties.

Agreed oyvinds.
CAD $4,500 fee for a single wire transfer is a painful eye-gouge. Being happy with that makes me think of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndromeThere is no way to justify that high of a fee. Not that much work gets put into manually processing a wire transfer (even internationally).
I understand that its a fee imposed by Gox's bank for wires in addition to what they're already allotted,
so Gox is just passing it along. Hence, big unfairness on the part of Japanese banks, but no unfairness on the part of Gox.
Of course 5% is a very round amount and I wonder if Gox isn't taking a cut. If they are, in the name of good customer relations
I think they should consider paying any such cut back (to all of us who paid the 5%).
