I took the majority of my funds off Gox a while ago but keep a coin or two there to play with. I have an unverified account, and to test out this FUD I just withdrew 0.145 BTC with no problems. Right now the transaction is still unconfirmed. Edit: It is now confirmed in my other wallet.

It used to be up to 100 BTC daily. But JimboToronto now says he is unable to withdraw 50 without the verification. So they changed requirements, and I speculate there might be varying conditions upon which Gox decides what verification bullshit is required for a customer. Like country of residence, desired deposit/withdrawal method, and amount you wish to deposit/withdraw. There are 3 levels of account status - unverified, verified and trusted - the last one is with notarized and translated documents, but this used to be required only for big transactions.

Well, I was only trying to withdraw 10 bitcoins.

mtgox did this with me about 6 months ago so its nothing new, I had about 8 btc that had been deposited as btc a few years previously and they wouldnt let me withdraw them as btc, I went thru the motions, had to fake some of it because i didnt have the right documents, but I dont think they care about that, as long as it all looks ok you should be fine

You mean the guy selling beer?

Cup and handle formed? Supposedly some "big news" coming out public tomorrow, though I have my doubts on who it is "big" to.

I don't think I've ever seen an upcoming "big news" announcement live up to expectation, but there is always that distant hope...

 

As long as the announcement doesn't include 10M$ extra on the bid sum at Gox, I don't give a damn. 

the big news will be you can fund your second market account with bitcoins
