I was assuming the transaction would be sent out by the Green Address (1LNWw6yCxkUmkhArb2Nf2MPw6vG7u5WG7q ) stated by MagicalTux at : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48170.0 , but instead I received it from:

Code:

1MVtwuuKvuzUa2mWiBnrA9UzqnP7tBaB9A (0.1 BTC - Output)
15sgsXuS7LPGPT18cjH5ecuUwPK6jTbFJZ (0.21206082 BTC - Output)
1BSX5JfYF9d4i7oU2DmQkbGFMqiQd7NoR3 (86.88689612 BTC - Output)

Which one would be the green address then?

Mt. Gox is robbing Peter to pay Paul!

The bold address is what Mt. Gox uses to rob BTC from users accounts to satisfy outstanding BTC withdraws.
I had a BTC deposit to my Mt. Gox account from mining and they took it, it shows so in the block chain, and paid it to two other addresses.
Checking my account it shows the full balance, yet the block chain says different, BTC transferred from my Mt. Gox address to the Green address.
They are doing the Bitcoin Shuffle big time, WTF. They could be taking our BTC and trading on the market for all we know. Angry

I thought they were just an intermediary acting as a middle man, not pilfering my account to pay johnthedong. Shocked

Seeing this activity doesn't make me feel good about their business practices. Looks like I'm going to have to get that paper wallet sooner rather than later.

Sincerely,

WTF

"I went to the bank to get my $0.40 back out, and it wasn't even the same $0.40, I checked the mint marks on the dimes! The bank teller told me that they have a computerized balance that shows how many dollars I have, but clearly they are just taking someone else's money to pay me back mine!"

That is lame that it didn't come from the green address, but you should also understand that mtgox doesn't pay transaction fees when you withdraw, so a 0.1 BTC transfer is likely going to be a low priority transaction on the Bitcoin network; you are lucky it went through at all. Using the green address option indicates you are making a time-sensitive payment to someone; mtgox should add a .001 fee from your balance to make it go through in a timely fashion.
