Gox might not like outsiders jumping in for a cut to something that might be a very lucrative and dominating way for them to make profit currently. Gox could also very much like the difference in exchange rates in their current situation. On the other hand Gox could very much like outsiders jumping in to give Gox more capital to work with. What I am saying that you might experience unexpected(?) delays on getting USD out from Gox to your new JP account. Also since you don't know exactly what are the problems Gox is having with the banks you might also experience an unexpected(?) freeze on your account in the JP bank if the bank suspects you are working as a front for Gox.

Got today a SEPA-Withdraw (1000 EUR)

Withdraw requested on: 2013/06/27

Cleared: 2013/08/06

Very unlikely. If a US bank did that, it would be visible at the US customer end. Nobody is saying that Mt. Gox claimed they sent a USD wire transfer and the funds were not received by the recipient. Nobody is saying that they sent a wire transfer to Mt. Gox and it was rejected by their sending bank.

Quit trying to find excuses for Mt. Gox.

Almost exactly that is claimed here https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/231960.msg2540042#msg2540042 (more specifically - as I said previously - the payment is received, but then reversed when the covering payment is blocked)

Indeed, MT 202 COV SWIFT messages exist precisely so that US correspondent banks can block 'illegal' USD transactions.

There is a link in that same thread to the famous example of US correspondent banks blocking a payment for cuban cigars that was made between two European companies.

I tried a new bank one day.  I cancelled my account after one day after trying three transfers.  One of my transfers, to Intersango, got blocked because this bank used USSAnian Citibank as intermediate for international transfers, and Citibank blocked transfers to Intersango.  I haven't had this problem with any other bank I have used.  The bank was Skandiabanken, btw.  Stay away!  Citibank is actively blocking transfers to some exchanges, and is a hub for international transfers.

I am confident what I was saying was pretty trivially easy to understand for a big bunch of people.

The jp transfers might make it in 2 or 3 days until perhaps some day they don't. Who knows for sure anything what is actually going on?

I sent EUR (SEPA).  Skandiabanken told me they use Citibank for all their foreign transfers, and Citibank blocked it.  I complained to "Finansklagenemnda", and Skandiabanken refunded all fees I had when I express transferred the amount from the bank I normally use.  I noticed that Skandiabanken has terrible currency conversion rates as well, and I actually saved money by paying the fee to transfer from my normal bank.  Hidden fees like this is another reason to stay away from Skandiabanken.

Today I closed my account @ MtGox.
I was one of the oldest customers. It is not possible for me to withdraw any funds to my Dutch Bank without make an NEW template. In the past I was using an old template without problems.

In summary:
For reason you can study my last tickets

In the past I always withdrew my funds successfully using an existing BANK template. (Look @ my withdrawals in the past!)

Withdrawals using this old and existing template caused the error: Cancel of: Withdraw to account RABOBANK NEDERLAND Invalid currency, your withdraw must be made from EUR

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NEW TEMPLATE I MADE (a couple hours ago) AFTER THIS ERROR
You blame this error because of this NEW TEMPLATE is not verified.

But the error occurred BEFORE I made the new Bank template.
You make it impossible to do business for me in a simple way

You are losing now one of the most loyal and oldest customers

Regards,




Hello,

We need your cooperation in this matter.

To have your bank account verified you should first fill in the identity form associated to your Mt.Gox account(write in your name, DOB, address etc).

In order you can do that, we have to downgrade your account. Once you filled the form, your account will be upgraded to "verified" status again.

When your account is downgraded you will not be able to complete trades or do any transactions, so we suggest you to finish all activities on your account, tell us that you are ready, we will downgrade your account, you will fill in the form and let us know asap that you are done so that your account can be returned to verified status quickly.

As a first step, let us know when you are ready to fill in the form.

We are sorry about all inconvenience caused.

I have no time to write this down in a structured way. I have to work
Still I want this to share here.

(Using Bitstamp without problems)

Thanks a ton for that.
I will also file a complaint with the SEC, and then close my account at MtGox , too.
I have been with them since September 2010.

Congratulations, you've done everything wrong.

Delete your withdrawals, buy bitcoins on Gox and sell them on Bitstamp.

This is the preferred method for people who do not get enough. And yes, that'll cost you. Such is life. Greed has its price.
