I notice that TrafficHolder says on withdraw,

"We will convert requested funds to BitCoin based on MtGox BitCoin Price during the payment moment."

mtgox's USD-BTC price is inflated because of the difficulty (impossibility?) of withdrawing funds in USD from there. So a conversion based on mtgox would probably be losing something like 5-10% of value.
