Re: MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering]

Anyone still got his money back recently? Still waiting for a withdrawal done by the end of January. Should I presume the money is lost?

If mtgox was honest and the delays were due to the banks taking so long, the money would be on the way to you.
If mtgox was lying and they kept the money on purpose, the money is still at mtgox and by now seized.

Banks themselves can never "take so long". It's plain and clear Gox was withholding SOME funds on purpose, even for SEPA transfers. The reason I say SOME, is this:

I had 2 SEPA withdrawals from Gox:

1) 960 on 24Jan, never arrived
2) 270 on 6Feb, arrived 22Feb

Now why in the fuck would they process the later withdrawal sooner than the earlier withdrawal??

OR you could read it as :

MtGox was not "withholding" any funds, and the bank processed the wires in the next open day as they always do for all of their customers with only ONE condition : that there were funds on the account first.

"960 ? Sorry Mr K. we cannot do that because you account contains only 459"
"270 ? Yes that we can do. Now you only have 189 left. Have a nice day"

Thing is Gox do not have a separate bank account for each one of their customers. So whatever per-customer withdrawal limit is set is not set by the bank, but artificially by Gox.

They could have send the 960 just as well as they did the 270, I'm sure their bank account would not be "depleted" (not correct word I know) by this single withdrawal. But they chose not to.

I am not saying they had a separate bank account per customer.

I am saying that their whole corporate account did not have enough funds to send your 960 at any time after the 24th of january but happened to have more than 270 around the 20th of february.

Banks DO send wires in a matter of days. Whatever the amount. Always. That is their f*****g job.

They only ask ONE thing : that the the money exists on THEIR books before sending it out.

Evidences suggests MtGox funds have been depleted for months if not years.

Are you seriously suggesting that the Gox bank account had 270eur but didn't have 960eur at any one point in time?
