Unfortunately trying to address the underlying fundamental problem (corp/gov interference) requires at least a tiny bit of cooperation from Mt. Gox.  When I made an effort to obtain any usable information from them I got back standard boilerplate and nothing which was either usable or even honest.  I got back the standard 'several weeks' bullshit which is both amusing and offensive.

This is actually a bit of a shame because I happen to have the good fortune to be represented by lawmakers who have taken a leading role in addressing the abusive practices of the banking system over the years, and who is especially responsive to the problems of his constituency in the case of my house representative.
