When involving alot of money,would it be wise to fly yourself and your lawyer in?
Let's say you have Alot of money tied to an exchange,say Cryptsy.

Would it be wise to fly your lawyer and self to the "hq" of Cryptsy & Coinbase,and ask for transfer and withdraw of funds?
After all you wouldn't want something to potentially happen to that money..

It's quiet common for people to fly in to look a heavy  piece of equipment, before spending hundreds of thousands.\

Surely a few hundred dollars beats loosing hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars of bitcoin?

Most likely just best to call wherever the exchange is headquartered and hire a lawyer in that area. You likely won't get anything, and flying there doesn't really accomplish much.

I'd wonder what the lawyer will be able to "look" at.  They would have to be pretty tech smart.  Just document everything as well as you can.

I read somewhere (probably here) that someone flew to Miami for a deal involving 2 rolls of casacius coins that sold on eBay.  For that much I'd take the flight rather than trust paypal.

It depends on the amount of the transaction. Clearly you don't want to leave thousands of dollars around in paypal or other systems but you want cash in a nice 24hrs :P
Don't forget knifes and guns
