From the accounts of the Bitcoin exchanger Mt. Gox US government withdrew another 2.1 million dollars

It looks like the Bitcoin exchanger Mt. Gox's financial problems are deeper than thought. The fact is that earlier the US government withdrew about $ 2.9 million from Dwolla's accounts. It happened a long time ago. But the other day it became known that US officials withdrew another 2.1 million US dollars from the Wells Fargo account. All this is done as if by law, since the Mt. Gox was unable to register in the US as a money transfer organization.

Back in May, the court ruled that the exchange still works with real money, and it does not matter whether it is paper bills (well, or metal coins), or whether it is a virtual monetary unit. A dollar in any form, virtual or real, is a monetary unit. In connection with all these problems, the developers of Mt. back in June. Gox reported that work with dollars is temporarily discontinued. And although after a couple of weeks, work with USD resumed, problems with operations with this currency still arise.

In general, the explanation is simple. The fact is that with the withdrawal of $ 5 million, the company simply does not have enough USD to carry out all exchange operations. At the same time, the president of the company answered negatively to questions like “Do you accept funds from users and send funds at the request of the user / client?”

Here, by the way, is the decision of the US authorities on this issue .

By the way, despite the problems of Mt. Gox, some other exchanges are developing more actively, and continue to work on exchanging cryptocurrencies for other monetary units.
