You are right it's bad but thats the gamble everyone takes. Do you want to be sure of your money earned, or do you want to buy cheaper coins later?
Only having $$ on your account is still having a bet for the success of Bitcoin an Mt.Gox!
I would not imagine they have time for payout processing right now.
Trying to withdraw now is either impossible because your funds are stolen or stupid because they are not!
I understand that they want to suspend trade like the BIG Boys! But what wankers stoping a USD transfer, your right I'm just having a punt,
but if these dickhead want to be an EXCHANGE then they should let it go stop the control.
It will be a long time before i would take Bitcoin seriously and MT.Gox just gave it a bad name...
