ok so my first withdrawal was processed in yen to my japanese account from the 7th january on the 22nd january. still 2 more outstanding on later dates but at least its paying out still. panic over. 2/3 week delay estimates are correct. goodluck
Good to hear, by that measure, mine should get done Friday or early next week, fingers and toes crossed

I just had a JPY withdrawal from 5 January go through. Still waiting on withdrawals from 13 and 14 January.
As far as I know, there has been no credible explanation for the delay (besides some rubbish about "holidays"?!).
Don't want to get caught out when the music stops. Still, at 15% arbs perhaps it is worth the gamble... ? It is just that, though: gambling on the financial health of MtGox.
