I think Gox is Lying

[doobadoo]

I'm a whole seller of the DDos thing.  I was watching it trade, it happened just as before.  The prices started to sell off for about 20 minutes and then started to lag, and then slower and slower till they were down.

These are customers running to trade btc, either to join the selling or buy the dip.  But when the price moves a bunch, in these 2 cases down, then the lag, then the crash.  DDos wouldn't progressively set in like that.  Ddos hits a site quickly.

I think they opened way too many accounts and can't handle the volume.  Their tx engine keeps crashing/freezing.  Just go offline guys.  It is healthier that way, go offline till you fix your code and upgrade your capacity.

Enough bullshit, there is no evil demon ddosing you.  Who would it profit to do this?  This guy wants to buy back lower? gimme break, he's breaking the back of btc trading.

Look now how nicely the site is running.  Seriously.   What happened to the ddos, just went away?   They rebooted and cleared some cache, or transitioned to fatter connection and dns had to update.  I got a 502 bad gateway for a few minutes.   Then they are back up and full speed, even snappy. 

We shall see.

There never was one. Look here at MtGox saying there never was one:

They specifically admitted this is the case and are spinning it as being "victims of their own success".
