Hello,
I wonder, because for about one month ago I made a money transfer to my mtgox account for about one thousand euro (1000) and today still I can't see my money:( I made support request, got some answer but silence for some days now. If u look more, mtgox Facebook profile, we can see that is a lot of people that are missing money from this portal.

What is wrong with Mtgox? I transfered money there 3 times before for some thousands euro. Takę care people because I think they have problems and they are on the way to be a scam;/

What is your opinion?

Not exactly scum, but mtgox are going off and on too frequently.
In my opinion defenitely not an exchange you should trust.
At least their certificate is now verified, because a week ago it was not verified which leads me to take out all little amounts of coins I have had there.

MtGox is not a scam but a company beleaguered and unable to operate properly
You are best off avoiding them altogether at this point of time
I stopped using them about 2 months ago and dont plan on returning

If they are "the biggest" one exchange portal for biitcoins, how they earn money or how they can go bankruptcy? They have only money from fees?

Freezed US bank accounts + expensive lawyers  Huh
There must be reason why USD withdrawals can take months - no doubt they face legal actions when such delays

MTGOX has many issues with withdrawals mainly and according to you also deposits (for fiat) they might have an issue getting some banking partners or are simply short on cash after us seized some of there accounts.

Well moving money out of gox is causing some people troubles but i didn't knew that it's hard to fund your account as well. What was the answer on your ticket?

Exactly we see many users here reporting daily about issues with these three companies. Never seen a single complaint of Bitstamp though.

I got answer like;
Due to changes in banks web interface they have some delays. I'm sure that they have my money on their account, I went to WBK.

There are many posts about how the deposits and withdrawal on btc-e doesn't go through.
