I'm thinking of depositing a big pile of coins on Bitstamp, selling them, and withdrawing the money (through ripple).
It concerns me that Bitstamp will send me some cover-their-@$$ AML questions and force me to answer them before allowing withdrawals. I've heard of this sort of thing happening to people who use Bitstamp.
Any here have withdrawn tens of $k from Bitstamp, and how did it go?
Definitely dont deposit a big pile of coins anywhere and withdraw all at once. Move in bit by bit, if you want to lock in the price now i'd diversify holdings over many exchanges.
