I put in a withdrawal request to my U.S. located bank account on 10/22 and only after the fact, noticed the Mt.Gox message indicating that withdrawals could take two or more weeks.
Having seen no posts anywhere on this forum from anyone yet stating that they've been able to successfully have USD transferred from Mt.Gox to their bank accounts since as far back as April, I am a bit concerned.
I initiated this withdrawal of $700 USD (less than the $1,000 limit) and my USD balance magically reduced by that amount. Yet no arrival in bank account. There is no "history" to see that the $700 is in "processing limbo" at the very least. Rather, it's as if the money were never there... a bit disconcerting actually.
