Title: Anybody received money from MtGox lately?
Post by: wingding on July 10, 2013, 05:29:01 PM
I have been waiting since june 16th for my withdrawal (>10kUSD)
They say that they have resumed payments, but I've seen no money.
Are they paying out anything at all??

If they dont have the money, it can only mean that they have been spending client's funds. That is illegal, also in Japan I suppose. Have you considered any legal steps?

Been waiting since 6/12 for my withdrawals.  It's very scary to think I may never get my money!

Is it really just the two of us that are being scammed by MtGox? I believed I would have a lot of responses here. People are deadly interested in Bitcoin here, but don't seem to care much about the coins are becoming useless with MtGox latest measures.

Holding client funds on corporate bank accounts is already and in itself illegal.
But it's not like this hasn't been repeated over and over before.

Interesting, if they switch to a corporate account then many laws protecting "consumer" accounts don't apply. Also with a corporate account with most banks they can do alot more with the funds, for good and bad.

They don't "switch" to corporate accounts. They never really had proper segregated accounts in the first place.
There is exactly one bitcoin exchange that has segregated user accounts (to be perfectly fair it does not appear to be necessary in the US where an MSB license, or a partnership with a registered MSB is sufficient).

Good luck with the new exchange !

Thank you! It's not exactly new though, it's been operating since 2010 with the notable exception of the couple last months :-)

Received money from MtGox lately? Is this a joke or are you serious? You left $10k sitting at Gox. Money must mean nothing to you. You're either the craziest person I've ever heard of or the richest.

There are already about 20 threads running on the issue.  It's pretty much common knowledge at this point.

That doesn't explain the Mtgox/other-exchange parity. Mtgox is at most x% higher than other exchanges like btc-e.

+1

I wanted to withdraw from Mt. Gox a relatively small amount of money, I noticed they claimed "lol-three weeks for SEPA transfers", I converted all to BTC and withdrew the BTC...

I would love to transfer to BTC and remove that from MTGOX.  Unfortunately since they removed my money when I requested a withdrawal, I no longer have it available to buy BTC.  I'm screwed until they do the wire transfer or return my money.  I can't get them to do either because every support request is met with the same damn template response no matter what you ask or say in the request.

Yeah, I got mine cancelled within the day.

How did you get them cancelled?  I can't get any response other than the standard "we are working on it" template.

Just filed a support ticket with question about state of withdrawal first (had been waiting for over 2 months and my patience was running out).  Then I replied to the email I got, with the question to cancel them.  It was for euros though, not sure if it will work the same way for USD.

Turn it into BTC and get it the hell out.

I'm still waiting for a may 10, 2013 SEPA transfer.

They first lied about the date 3 times and now don't respond to support questions anymore.
Can't get my money back into my MtGox account too, would love to buy back BTC and get out, forever.

I have lots of patience but now it's over.
I hope MtGox dies, we don't need it, another exchange will take over the market.


Update:

Got in chat support at MtGox today, asked where my money is (waiting for SEPA transfer for over 2 months)... "Linda Support has left the room"...

I consider my money to be lost... Don't think I'll ever see it...

things seems to calm down a bit. It seems deposits where frozen as well. Mine was since July 2th. My MtGOX account has been credited overnight.

Look at the BTC price drop. MtGox volume bursting...
