Title: Can't Withdraw USD Using MtGox Code - Is Mt Gox Removing Features?
Post by: ForceField on April 13, 2013, 08:10:24 PM
From Mt Gox Support Website (https://support.mtgox.com/entries/20490576-Withdrawals-and-Deposits):

Quote
If you have or want to generate a Mt.Gox redeemable code, you can do it here: https://mtgox.com/trade/funding-options

However, when I go to my account:

Trade -> Funding Options -> Withdraw Funds ->

The "USD via Mt. Gox Code" option is Missing:

However, in "Add Funds", you are still able to deposit a "redeem Mt.Gox Code"?

Yep. Gox sent out emails to people who used the system a few days before they cut service, but I don't recall any general announcement.

"You are currently making use of a system which will be deprecated on Thu 11 Apr 2013 12:00:00 AM GMT:

Generation of USD and CAD redeemable codes will not be possible due to legal issues"

Mt.Gox is getting ridiculous. I never received an email from them about this.

How can they remove a vital feature of their service and not disclose it to their clients?

First they implement a mandatory requirement of your personal information for using Dwolla and now this.
This is exactly what happens when near-monopolies start getting greedy.

i saw that coming, since the advent of the virus that steals your coins, now they are trying to prevent people, the scammers, from withdrawing their stolen funds tru aurumexchange, from a long time the whole thing had a money laundering smell.

This happened April 10 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=151081.0
Due to FinCEN bullshit they can't hand out any non btc vouchers or so they claim.
