The thing that basically perked me here is that schizoid black/white market dual identity. Mtgox demonstrated to be inconsistent in this regard. I wish there was some clarity.

Or is it a "schizoid gray" market where ops decide on whether it is black or white based on how it is more profitable or convenient to them in every specific case. So far it seems that this one is the case. Correct me if I am wrong.
Yes, that is exactly what i dislike about the case.
Baron was an obvious scammer, but mtgox was definately hiding something / not playing open cards.
This is why at some point i thought that mtgox is a scammer too.
Well, this is not good tactics if you want to attract big players, serious people & people who are afraid of risk.
For now,
+1 is all that mtgox gets from me. To get more, he needs more openess & clarity.
