You're mostly correct, but there were lots of warning signs about MtGox, far before they folded - the repeated suspension of USD withdrawals chief among them.

There's plenty of warning signs for Coinbase right now, but people dismiss those. The difference is that Coinbase hasn't failed yet. It's easy to try to dismiss Mt. Gox as a one-off, but something like a dozen exchanges have already collapsed due to insolvency. It's the norm, not the exception.
