All,

There appears to be more of us active in Japan.   Seeing that we are supposed to be in a good position for withdrawals.   I thought it might be a good idea to separate our experiences from the main long winded thread.

I've chosen to self moderate this thread as I'd like to keep it clean and on topic.   No need to discuss the ojisan on the train this morning, or the issues your having with the JP MIL.

Given the worrying queue that appears to be growing, I'll start it off.

I have a withdrawal from early Jan that I've not received.   If this thread works out well to give us insight into the current queue, it might also work well for future so we can see how long our withdrawals are taking in general for planning our arbitrage activities.  

Thanks,

Exactly, the fact they are claiming that the local JP banks are backlogged is horse shit.   JP banks were humming along fine the day after the holidays.   A few thousand domestic transfers does not bring the JP banking system to a grinding halt.   I'd be weary of keeping any large amounts of money/btc with them from this point out.

How about staying on topic.

Resolved.
