are they scammers - or just some problems?
That's anyone's guess right now. (edit: My guess is no, they're not scammers.) does mtgox have problems? YES could they have dealt with those problems better? YES does their comunication suxx? YES are they scammers? ABSOLUTELY NO! as far as i know, there hasn't been a single loss of customers BTCs or fiat. mtgox doesn't hide in the dark or operates more or less illigal like btc-e and bitstamp. i wouldn't trust btc-e at all! even bitstamp doesn't earn more trust, than a few coins, you can afford to lose! the only really trustworthy exchanges i know are www.bitcoin.de and kraken. next in line is mtgox and after that nothing for a long distance! if you want to trust btc-e over mtgox, fine! but prepare to see the operators running with your money. nobody knows, who they are! edit:mtgox had and still has lots of serious troubles but they are still there and never took any money. most exchanges who are operating today never had any problems. those who did are gone. more often than not with their customers funds Absolutely MT Gox are scammers: They scammed me for 7 BTC in the commission they charge. I sold BTC for USD on MtGox in May believing the statement on their web site at the time that they could deliver the USD to my bank account in 'up to two weeks' . After 3 months they still never paid me the USD. This is called defaulting on a trade. All I got was excuses from the support desk. Eventually I gave up and bought back the BTC on Mt Gox (they got comission again!) and transfer the BTC to another exchange that doesn't default on trades. The round trip of selling the BTC and then buying it back again cost me approx 7 BTC in commission (the trades were approx 700 BTC each direction). Those 7 BTC are now worth $8,400. They ripped me off for 7 BTC by telling lies about their ability to deliver the USD I bought from them. I had no money or BTC with them now. The reason they don't tell you about their problems is they don't want to jeopardize the money they are making from suckers like me. I despise Mt Gox. They are cheats and liars. Try coinbase if you are in the US.

For everyone having MTGOX issues - to compare since I moved to bitstamp, it only took about a week.
Bitstamp wins.

Gox is commiting economic harakiri. As it stands mtgox is not a functional currency exchange rater a shop where you can buy some Bitcoins at an inflated price and then later on have difficulty cashing out. (Data from 6 dec 2013 about 8am) Will MtGox follow Nokias path? .

Gox is still making shitloads of money every day, and it's not as if there's any other exchange that would be immune to the regulatory hassles that Gox has gotten into.

Still waiting for SEPA withdrawal to polish account. Request made 2013/10/22 (6 weeks ago) value: 423zł . Waiting for Support reply.
Mt.Gox: Situation as of 1st December 2013: We are currently processing withdrawals requested 3 weeks and 2 days agoReality: - Me: 6 weeks and 3 days and still nothing, just nothing. And no support reply for 4 days. (PLN) (SEPA)
- BTCWorld: about 9 weeks (PLN) (SEPA)
- Abracadaver: 3 weeks 3 days (EUR) (SEPA)
Why so different delays and why Mt.Gox is lying?

Christ, coinbase sucks balls dude. I know its the best option if your an American. But for the rest of us. pffffft. no thanks.
I like Coinbase because they reliably give me my money within a few days. I don't like that the price is low-ish at Coinbase sometimes, at least compared to Mt. Gox where their operational problems probably do cause some price inflation, and there is some price lag so I might have to sit on my hands for a few days before pushing the purchase button when the spot price is on an up-swing. Usually their price is better than Bitstamp though it seems. Certainly better than BTC-E. At the end of the day, Coinbase so far gives me reliable service and does not require me to submit high quality identity documents which could be used for identity theft if they were mis-managed. Also, unlike Mt. Gox, they have never lied to me or tried to set invalid expectations. So far I've run $50k through Coinbase while Mt. Gox has been sitting on my $5k since last summer and still has not gotten it to me or provided any information about the delay. The one time I asked about it many months ago, Mt. Gox gave me misleading info which they must have know was untrue.

Why so different delays and why Mt.Gox is lying? PLN is not SEPA. SEPA is EUR only. By definition. Single Euro Payment Area.

Nope. Read again. She says the PLN and Euro (SEPA) issue is the same. Same bank, same limit. PLN is a domestic transfer, Euro is SEPA.

Still nothing from my June and July withdrawal. I think I'm about to suck it up, take my cash, and buy in at $800 at essentially 1/8 my original Bitcoins sold. Lesson learned, never use Gox again.
Very bad! I'm waiting the wire since September.

Now you understand why Mt. Gox is not a legit exchange. When the price was going up, the excuse "well, you can get out BTC and sell on another exchange" satisfied some customers. When the price is going down fast and you're stuck on Mt. Gox, you go down with it.

I find it funny that anybody would still have money with gox seeing as one could easily have withdrawn btc and sold for a profit on other exchanges during the past few days.
Cancel your withdraws, buy BTC, wait until the price is slightly higher elsewhere and then sell. Violla, no more wiating for withdraw at gox.
If your in the EU, check out BTC-e, their EUR price is nice and they usually have next day transfers.
If you're in the US, try out coinbase, their price is the same as bitstamp and they deposit right to your bank account.
So simple...
