this makes me suspicious.
Bitcoin doesn't have capital controls. It looks like Mt. Gox, one of many bitcoin exchanges, is enacting capital controls. The solution is, don't use Mt. Gox. They are about to get a lesson in free markets. By restricting withdrawals, people will move away from using them and move towards other exchanges.
