I think MTGox uses a bank in Japan as they are based in Japan. I'm not aware of any MTGox documentation verification except when withdrawing or depositing with Dwolla. As I've never submitted any documentation to them but I'm not swinging $100k so maybe there's something new.
I'm fairly certain Hong Kong is home to some of the largest illegitimate banking industries in the world. And I know for a fact A LOT of money laundering goes through Hong Kong banks under fake corporations filed in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
