This is just a heads up to everyone who has used/is thinking about using bitinstant.
They are either stealing everyone's money or are too incompetent to run a money transfer service successfully. Either way, that means YOUR money is in jeopardy of being lost in limbo.
Just look at the thread of everyone complaining about never receiving their funds. I have yet to see anyone post saying their issue was resolved or they received their transfer successful after their problem was "escalated".
