you forgot to add:
after a few announcments of new announments they finally managed to solve it themselves and continue.
but we have to understand that we are only allowed to withdraw 1btc/day because of the risk they take beeing the biggest exchange and permanently attacked.
Funnily enough, that's kind of what I see happening. Very small withdrawal limits- the new verification for BTC will slow the withdrawals down too. Short term I see them surviving, but long-term they seem shot in terms of retaining a customer base.
