Hello Polvos,

As I work in the Compliance Division, I can really only comment on your last point - freezing money.

Unfortunately, we are legally obliged to occasionally hold customer funds pending the outcome of an investigation by the banks we work with. We don't have any control over this, it's simply one of the consequences of carrying out a large number of large bank transfers. Of course, transferring funds person to person carries much lower risk of needing to provide AML documents, as the size of the transfer is usually much smaller, and is usually either a once off or done only occasionally.

You forgot to mention when you freeze accounts based on "tainted" coins (the definition of which is left entirely to your discretion) as seen here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=73385.0

Of course after I made a big fuss about it your "legal obligations" were magically lifted and you released funds.

Notice that Dylan did not once comment on that thread of yours, 556j. In fact, the following was his first post (sans company hat) after getting out of Newbie on May 31, a place he asked to get whitelisted back in November of last year. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80173.msg932321#msg932321 I'm beginning to believe that Mt. Gox is run by a bunch of turtles, and I'm not talking about the Ninja kind.
