Please keep panicing! Never search for the true answers; make up your own! Don't ever believe it is possible to withdraw anything! Don't believe arbitrage is possible. Please keep spreading rumours that MtGox are broke, etc.
Just in case no-one else points this out: even if they actually have no major problems whatsoever, they soon will if people panic and try to withdraw everything so I would be careful what you wish for.
FWIW their reports of banking problems sound all too painfully believable to me, though their communication over every issue has been abysmal, and is the main thing that would make me suspect either their honesty or competence.
I agree that people tend to panic over many things. Mtgox is in bitcoin comunity for long time and they stil make money. I really doubt that they would go rouge or make some froud move and face many lsgal consequence.
I have 4500 usd there and i am from eu, just wating with my bank to claer something with my account to initiate wiithdraw.
Am i concerned about all this, yes, but i am not thinking that gox will go rouge with all our money.
They have backlog and that wont change until some constructive solution implentetetion. Curent btc withdraw snag is separate issue what need time to resolve.
