Alrighty. Been reading this thread for about a month or more, been unable to register for the past month and when I finally DID manage to register I had to hang around for 4 hrs and post 5 posts in the newbie section first. OMG so many roadblocks in place it feels like a MtGox conspiracy to stop people from posting their withdrawal woes on this thread, I swear. I mean could they have made it any harder and made me wait any longer???

I imagine there's a lot of people in my situation who've been unable to post to this thread or haven't been as determined as me. So the majority of people never get to post and we are missing out on an incredible amount of data points that we otherwise could have.

• On August 7 I made a withdrawl for over $6000 USD using SWIFT to my US currency account down in New Zealand. (Yes I deliberately wanted my money in USD)
• Every few weeks I'd contact them and ask what the hell is up, still no money, usual backlog 2 weeks blah blah response.
• Eventually after 2+ months I started googling MtGox USD withdrawal and found this thread. Been reading it since and frustarted as hell I couldn't post.
• On October 21 finally fed up and seeing people requesting the 5% urgent manual withdrawal option I do the same. (I figured it was safer than buying bitcoins and transferring elsewhere at a loss and doing a withdrawal there.)
• After a reponse saying please stand by while we research, a day later I get another post from them stating they can withdrawal to me using NZD instead.
• So I replied okay, FINE, I really wanted USD not NZD but whatever, money is better than no money, right? So I replied and state that the bank account I specified was a USD currency account and i'd have to give them my NZD currency account number instead. This is when they replied with clarification. They can cancel my USD withdrawal and I have to buy bitcoins in USD and sell them in NZD and then do a withdrawal to the correct NZD account.

ARRRGHHH!H#!@#!! I HATE YOU MTGOX.


Nevermind I can't do that even if I WANTED to because NO BODY trades bitcoin in NZD on MtGox. AUD is maybe an option but not NZD as NZ already has a better bitcoin exchange operated locally within the country. I COULD buy bitcoins on MtGox and sell on the local exchange in NZ for NZD but it has very little trades too and I fear it'll take forever to cash out without dropping the price here too much.

Don't know what to do anymore. I really really hate MtGox now.
