I could imagine that their polish bank account was closed and they just dont put out the news.

It's called VOTOS, a new kind of PR.

At least the funds seem to be safe.

Yes, for as long as you don't try to take them out they're safe.

Otherwise, let me make it plain: All the big players have already left. MtGox is without marketplace support at all currently, it was running a fractional reserve, they *may* be able to bring outside capital to cure their shortfall. Maybe.

In general the slower they get leeched the more likely they are to a) be able to borrow money to make up for outbound payments and b) (erroneously) perceive their brand has a value that justifies this effort (or perhaps more importantly - be able to sell the "brand value" to gullible investors).

In short, MtGox currently is a game of musical chairs and what's being decided is how to split the loss pie between users and investors. Since the sort of retards that'd invest in something like MtGox aren't reading me anyway, the best strategy for users is to slowly get everything out. Too much too fast will likely choke them, too slow might mean you're one of the bagholders, asking about "the liquidation" in a year old thread a year from now, just like the Bitcoinica people. Proceed accordingly.

Could you shed some more details on your claim they are running a fractional reserve atm?

Where would you advise users purchase Bitcoins instead of Mt Gox? Also have the big players moved to?

Also apologises for my ignorance but when you say "MtGox is without marketplace support" what does this mean exactly?
