Anyone can do simple arbitrage currently, question is who is taking advantage?

Noticed that BTC-e and bitstamp have been going back and forth with one another. For a long time BTC-e was always a little bit below bitstamp but this has not been the case lately. Saw BTC-e above bitstamp by almost $10 yesterday at one point.

Curious to know, anyone here been doing well with the simple USD/BTC arb opportunity? If so, what has been your relative profits so far and success?

Curious to know the relative weekly return people have been making lately with it.

NOTE: Do not tell me about ponzis that claim they do arbitration such as bitcoin trader or BTC-arbs. Already know about them and not interested.

Who needs to arb USD / BTC when you can ask for a loan and just not pay it back.

Move along troll. Talk about the topic at hand and not your own personal beliefs.

Do you have the bank accounts to get money in and out? I wrote a bot back in the days, but only did a few manual arb trades with some profit. Never set up the accounts to get serious money in and out.

i think when you do the arbitrage, you are taking the risk yourself
because when you lose money, your account will shrink and closed if there is no money
