It's not currently possible to withdraw your 26k worth of BTC from MtGox, and for a long time now it is very difficult to withdraw USD as well. You could buy 26k of MtGoxBTC right now and wait for them to start withdrawls back up, and that would indeed net you a nice bit (assuming the market doesn't fluctuate very much during that event). However, right now it seems most are betting against that ever happening.

You don't have $26K deposited in Gox and by the time you could do it the opportunity will be over.

MtGox have halted withdrawals, so you can't sell the coins elsewhere at the moment.

There is a sucker born every minute, and a rich one every 20 minute.

They won't let you withdraw in any currency afaik.

Mt.Gox is the only one who can withdraw whatever it wants from Mt.Gox. Its not a regulated field here.

Be Mt.Gox, sit at the bid and buy all the Bitcoin you want for $260ish. Get it over to hidden accounts \ people you took the time to set up in the last X months and sell at $600ish.

Laugh all the way to the bank........million and millions and let all you guys A. Believe in Mt.Gox or B. it goes out of biz, who the flying fuck cares, they just cleaned up.
