Did any customers lose money with the Mt Gox / Dwolla legal situation?

2

This crucial piece of info has been frustratingly absent from the news accounts I've seen. Specifically from what I understand, an account was "frozen". What does that mean for the people unlucky enough to have had their transaction present in the account at the time of "freezing"?

Here is the timeline for my deposit, which shows that at least one deposit was honored:

  1. May 14 @ 10:14 AM CST --> Dwolla notified me that money was sent
  2. May 14 @ 12:16 PM CST --> Dwolla notified me that DHS seized Mt Gox's account
  3. May 14 @ 08:53 PM CST --> Mt. Gox notified me that funds from dwolla were deposited

I can't speak about other transactions with certainty, but from the fact that my deposit went through and the lack of any major "I lost $3,700 during the DHS crackdown" news stories, my guess is that all transactions that happened around this time were either honored or rolled back.
