Probably not.  Please look around on the forum and use Google.  This is hot topic currently, USD withdrawals are not happening for sure, and other withdrawals are having problem too.  Someone confirmed that JPY domestic still works, but it's not easy to get a domestic Japan bank account for people not in Japan.

This is why there is such a big gap between Bitstamp and MtGox prices currently.

I agree - they seem to have problems all the time. I am surprised they still have their status.

I don't understand.
In the chat they are saying (MagicTux) that SEPA transfers are taking
about a week to process (untruth)

Withdrawals are delayed. You should stop using mt.gox ...

Withdrawals are delayed, possibly indefinitely. The best thing to do would be to get all of your money off of there by buying btc and withdrawing before the site is closed down for good. Gox is a sinking ship.

I have wired them some money from Poland in PLN about a week ago and they still do not show up in my account. I am not sure if it is a sinking ship but for sure it takes longer than should.

Well, I have wondered if I buy btc on BitStamp and hold them for say 20 confirmations, what is to prevent me from selling them on MtGox, where they are worth 115% of BitStamp?

I'm following this issue too. In another topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249658.20) the guy Rampion said that it worked for him, I'm gonna try it and I will see. Btw you really think that this is what explained the current gap between them and BitStamp?
The Ponzi thoery has some good arguments but I think they can make more money if they stay honest (with the amount of money traded and the 0.6% fee). Moreover, the fact that the company who owned it is known is another good factor so let's guess everything's gonna be alright!
