MtGox <-> BitStamp price divergence?

[ledmaniak]

If the owners of mtgox are smart, they should do lots of arbitrage to other exchanges, then they earn some money and use this to slowly withdraw to their customers.. Price will rise and people will have less FUD.

... In essence stealing from their clients while they hold their wealth hostage.  Profitable... but so is robbing banks.  Anything but ethical.

... in essence, that is exactly what normal banks are doing. They lend your money 3 or 4 times the value and gain huge profits. Banks keep the profit for themselves but that's why I'm saying:

...to slowly withdraw to their customers..

The price at Mt.Gox just reflects the fact that (almost) no market is really being made there now, no liquidity, no buyers, no sellers. So arbitrage is not a possibility either.

Price is fluctuating a lot so there are buyers and sellers.

I can't believe that in mid Feb 2014 there still are people coming to this forum and asking the same fucking questions over and over and over again.

Hard to imagine Mark not arbing the gap between Gox and Stamp.

Guess withdrawals will be open when he makes enough coins arbing to cover losses.

Unlike bitcoin there is no limit to the number of idiots.

Can someone explain to me who is selling on gox for that price?? Seems really dumb to me. If they go bankrupt you won't get your money anyway and if they fix their problems you would have sold your bitcoin for half the price.

What price are the insiders at Gox waiting for, $1?

If the insiders at Gox try this I sure as hell hope some whistleblower comes forward... and/or they leave a paper trail that eventually busts them. 

Doing this would be nothing short of thievery from their clients.

Shenanigans need to start leading to jail time for the perpetrators if crytpo currencies are ever going to see mainstream legitimacy.
