Would this be possible? The US government certainly can appeal to the Japanese government to shut them down (Japan is VERY friendly to the US). Your thoughts/

support.mtgox.com is working fine so I think it looks like a DDOS.

Well, if the US is really after MtGox, Japan isn't the best country to be seated in. It's almost like they are one of the states of America.

Correct, and the 502 might be coming from their DDOS protection service, along with a cache of their login page. Doesn't really say anything. Their support page is hosted elsewhere so it doesn't say anything either. No communications from GOX, so what is going on? COULD be a DDOS, could be that the US paid a phone call to the jap authorities, and the japs will bend over of course. They need to sell a lot of shit to US customers. They don't want to piss off daddy.

Opportunist DDOS.

So far as feds are concerned, the US bank account seizure has nothing to do with mtgox.com or bitcoins.  From their point of view, money was sent from Dwolla account A to Mark Karpales' Wells Fargo account; then from Mark's Wells Fargo account to Dwolla account B.  Case closed: it's a money transmitting business, entire enclosed within US borders.  Why he didn't sign up for a license is beyond me.

This is not he case at all.

It will be interesting to see how much or little they cooperate.

They are probably still bitter about the whole Hiroshima and Nagasaki thing. I don't blame them.
