I don't conspiracy much, but I do believe this is the worst DDOS yet.
At first I thought it was Gox being crappy again, but when the forums and Bitfloor went down I thought otherwise.

My thoughts:

Many many people hurrying to mtgox to do their thing

Not an actual ddos attack
MtGox just blames it like that cuz they dont see the difference from their end

BitcoinCharts --> "502 bad gateway" 2 times out of 3
BitcoinTalk --> randomly times out on me
Gox --> massive API lag and price dropping quickly

It looks to me like the pattern we saw before:

1. rogue trader rents botnet for Ddos
2. rogue trader starts his Gox bots to dump and bring price down and lag time up quickly
3. rogue trader starts botnet to ddos both BitcoinTalk and BitcoinCharts
4. people panic sell
5. rogue trader buys it all
6. rogue trader profits.

Your thoughts on it?
