Finally got a response.

Seems I need to make a JPY wallet on MtGox.

Then buy
USD -> BTC

Then sell
BTC -> JPY

Click Settings -> Main Currency -> JPY -> Save

Now there will be 2 wallets, as a drop down. Click on the USD and will see JPY drop down option. Use that when selling BTC.

Hopefully we'll get our wires now.

Anyone else have experience doing this?

Over $10k probably got you flagged by the banks due to government regulations.

If you take out $9500 multiple times that'll get you flagged for "structuring" which a crime.

Its no-win. Just contact your bank or their bank, make sure its all authorized, etc.

I sent a support ticket and getting no response too.

How long does it take for them to reply when sending a support ticket question?

Seems nobody home on their end to answer anything.

Buy High, Sell Low, is what some people did.

Who bought coins at $1000+

LOL!

Lost about 1/2 its value.

Just wait for them to go back to $0.01 - $5.00 again.

Soon when all governments and banks disallow any exchange websites, and you can't get your paper money out of it, then value will be $0.00 and you lose 100% of your money.

Using BTC for investment is out yes.

There will always be a crowd claiming they support the idea, and aren't in it for the money.

Woot, another flash crash to $0.01 again! I'm a buy me 10,000 coins when it reaches that!

Lot of people that bought in during the $1000-$1200 lost 50% of their value/investment. 

China no longer has positive influence, so probably going to sink down all the way to $5 each now.

After United States, Japan, Europe, and other countries/continents find ways to ban BTC by the gov and banks refusing wires to/from exchange sites, then value will probably have another flash crash down to $0.01 per bitcoin like the one in 2011. At that point, I might pick up 1,000 BTC for novelty.

$100 very soon.

Its already crashing, matter of time before its under $400, or even under $100.

Too late, we're already below $1000 $900.

tl;dr

So China created this bubble? They all got in (price goes up) and now they want out due to laws or regulations (price goes down).

Sorta funny actually.

Yeah, its not a Ponzi scheme. Only people that say that don't know what they are talking about and probably don't know the definition.

Its more or less a stock to invest money into, value could go up or down, except this is a stock that the government wants to get rid of, making people think twice about investing.

Stop posting nonsense, your topic should be removed, not even realistic. Should be under category of "fantasy", not "speculation".

If you were invested for the idea and not the money, then you wouldn't care so much what the value was.

Many people here reading and researching how to make a quick buck, then pretend they are all about the concept.

Acting on emotion rather than common sense is how you lose money.

I think going down 33% ($300) in just few hours is good sign of a crash.

You tried too hard, and already knew the answer.

Have you ever heard of stock market or bubbles?

You should probably research about that stuff first before getting into BitCoin.

Its basically the same thing.

So you are surprised the price can come down after it goes up? Really?

Dropped $300 in a few hours, will probably see $140 price later today. Sell now while you can, don't be last person and take a loss.
