I'm not about to accept the insult of a 5% fee. The $5k wire of mine that Mt. Gox has been sitting on for more than a quarter was never more than I could easily lose, but as the price rises, it's now even more just chump-change. Unless we have a significant and permanent collapse it looks like I'll have the resources and time to pursue various projects, and having Mt. Gox owe me the $5k via questionable business practices could pop up as something useful.
I'll always be happy to accept BTC instead of this fiat dept which they cannot or will not honor, but only as long as my last trade (where all of my fiat originated) is rolled back.
roll back? ! I think it's a dream in Mtgox. Maybe you could convert your USD to BTC and withdraw BTC out of Mtgox ASAP. Don't waste your time and patience in Mtgox.
Throw away my chance to stake a claim to the $5M to $10M of (former) Mt. Gox funds that my government could end up holding? For chump change? 'fraid not. Even if my pride would allow me to get reamed like this, it's worth the $5k to me just to have the option to try to make Mt. Gox suffer.
