It's partially tongue and cheek, but partially serious. Considering the ever deepening sense of crisis, uncertainty and opaqness of Gox, one would think that regular PR communication would at least help assuage the growing sense of gloom regarding the future of Gox. Yet the last update we had was August 5th and little of what was spoken of seems to have come true. It's still impossible to ascertain with any certainty what the withdrawal situation is, Gox apprently filed counter-suit to Coinlab, yet we found that out through other channels and Gox has made no mention of it.
So what gives? I understand this community can be spiteful and not very understanding, but withdrawing entirely into a cone of silence isn't helping one bit.
If I had to paint a picture I would paint a dark cloud over MTGOX right now.
Given their silence and "secrecy" of what is really going on and not actually fixing what has been broken for now...X amount of months, I still stick to the wise truth of "look at their actions" and not focus on what they have said or may say.
Talk is cheap. Actions speak much louder.
Gox's actions/inaction to actually fix their withdrawal of USD to the US is a huge red flag. I've stopped using Gox since early July after their "two week" hiatus turned out to be a bunch of BS.
