Let me guess, they will blame this correction on a DDoS......

Not a chance in hell.

Coordinated DDoS.

Yes, there is a chance in hell.

A DDOS. There's no reason to do trades like that.

I show similar strange buys.

This is not a DDoS. They should easily be able to handle these trades.

These are the tiny buys that support the bid/ask that I've discussed on other threads. These always occur during every sell-off. They usually transact much higher than the sells and the bid/ask somehow pops back up to the level of these tiny sells in spite of 100s of coins being dumped much lower. It's bizarre. If these are causing the lag, then they do it to stem panic selling (and not the other way around like everyone's thinking).

Mt. Gox needs to consolidate all identical buy orders into one order at the time the order is being placed. There's no reason those shouldn't be lumped into one order @ $167 unless they're using multiple accounts. Limiting the amount of orders to 1 per minute or something like that would also help too.
