Thanks for your rapid reply, yogi!
Then here's another question:
I've read that some people on MtGox are waiting on payouts for
months now.*
But that particular "payout problem" seems to have been only about US fiat payouts. Why or how were people continuing to trade, when there was a payout problem for such a long time? You know: If people are waiting for millions and millions of cash, why/how does trading continue on the platform that is responsible?
