The money flows in with a bank transfer. But does not go out. I made the transfer because I saw the price drop, and I believed them when saying that they would allow afterwards to withdraw the coins.
Now I think my only chance to get part of my money back is with bitcoinbuilder. But in the mean time I am playing to buy and sell with the little price fluctuations. Could be that many people is doing the same as I do?
You made a bank deposit? They told me today wire transfer is not available(other funding methods are);

They are not accepting bank deposits either while other funding option are available. WTF? Frozen account?
|

They are really having a banking issue out of their reach, not only a bitcoin one. GOX is currently unable to provide a number for direct bank deposit, but they are accepting other usd funding methods normally.
SMELLS BAD

i may be wrong, but i don't think he can claim it even if already registered 'cause it was already a very well known brand. It is like registering the word internet in 1992.

Taking the gov out of economy, where they should never be.

ive heard more anouncements of companies and sites that are going to accept bitcoins in the last 2 monts then the last 3 years combined.
if anything i`d say thrust in btc is growing faster and faster...
they just got greedy after seeing it skyrocketing, it is not about trust

i don't see centralized as a problem by itself, if we had at least one trustable exchange in a bureaucracy-free country it would be enough. But we don't have any really trustable one. BTC has a trust problem that will not allow it to grow.
Where is this "bureaucracy-free country"? Perhaps more than a few members here would consider making a move... http://www.heritage.org/index/rankingBanking is just part of the equation, those small countries known as fiscal paradises would be best suited for a bitcoin exchange.

I seriously believe it wil go back to around $100 or less and then remain stable in that value for long(several months to one year)

People are lacking some reason, nobody conspired theories or questioned when the priced skyrocket(by the way pobody really knows how that happened), then when it comes down everyones looking for answers. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.memegenerator.net%2Finstances%2F500x%2F46289588.jpg&t=663&c=lQFVzh5wg2bmcA)

And why the very small amount of 9 thousand dollar from an already indentified customer would give any red flags regarding illegal activity? BIG LOL.
To be honest, $9000 is a pretty shady number in the world of AML/KYC. Sad, but true. It is not, it is not aimed at street drug dealers, it is aimed at political corruption, organized crime etc but it does not matter. Just to make sense of it all. Just ask youself if your bank, which must comply to KYC, where you surely have more money and transactions has ever frozen your account or required invasive information about you under a treat. Ask your friends, ask your relatives, ask anyone. They all will say no! It does not happen 'cause it is not required and if you are in good stand with your bank it is even illegal to freeze an account without a judicial order. The first bank ever to behave like Bitstamp will have its reputation ruined and will be in legal trouble.

Bitstamp is lying. Just lying.
KYC just means asking for a ID document, properly verifying it and communicating any red flags on transactions or something to the authorities. The financial institution, which Bitstamp is not, can not act as an authority. They are acting and intimidating customers as if they were the federal police.
So Bitstamp is totally lying about it even if they have to comply to KYC, which i think they don't.

Sad to read all of this, Bitstamp seemed to be the only fully trustful exchange to me. I was planning making a really large USD deposit really soon, but probably i will not anymore. I can't risk having it frozen, delayed much less stolen. They don't even have a legal right to ask all your financial privacy based on a supposed KYC they are doing as if they were the federal police, what the hell were some of those questions for their customers who feel intimidated if they don't fully reply? Not even banks and govs can do that! It is PRIVATE in any civilized country, including the UK. So, to me, we don't have any safe place to exhange any considerable amount of money. Now BTC is really in trouble, if you can't properly exchange, BTC is restricted to candy transaction at the school.
By the way, Bitstamp is not required to follow KYC procedures. Only Banks and financial instituions are required, and they don't do that by freezing account or asking private details of customer's lifes.
