I don't think I had heard of them before the quite aggressive attacks against MtGox just recently. Which were day later shown to be quite hasty, given that Bitstamp suffered from the very same problem. Criminal charges don't matter that much to me. An entity that's a potential danger for the global banking world would certainly get into legal trouble even they weren't doing anything wrong. So no, not much trust.
