"Cash flow issues?" As in not having enough bitcoins to process withdrawals? I sincerely hope not.

They do have several "offline" wallets, so it could be that their online wallet is out of BTC, and they have to transfer BTC in from an offline wallet.

I don't think it's anything as sinister as some suggest. I think they are having cash flow issues, not that it makes it much better - but it seems to be the case, Dwolla withdraws went from taking 1-2 hours to 1-2 days, It seems like nothing is automatic anymore.

If this happened occasionally, it wouldn't merit much concern - but it seems like every single week MtGox has problems with at least one of their withdrawal methods.  I don't know how they've set up the accounts from which they process withdrawals, but those should be automatically topped up when they hit a certain threshold instead of withdrawals effectively being suspended while Mtgox transfers funds to replenish those accounts.

I don't get why this shit is still happening on a weekly basis.  People don't need vapid apologies every time this happens - they need the underlying problems fixed so that it stops happening.

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

Just wanted to inform: 20 hours later, my withdrawal was broadcast. All the coins are visible again.

I guess it just needs a little patience. I still wonder what causes this though.

No, it shouldn't. This is just a bitcoin withdrawal, the whole idea is that you can broadcast these things instantly!
