MtGox down
I wonder if it is being ddos'd in an effort to move/convert the 43K bitcoins that allegedly went missing from Instawallet? I'm trying to figure out if there is an advantage to be gained by having them offline for that or not.

Or they took the site down intentionally to make the laundering of the same coins more difficult. Who knows?

Somebody knows, I hope they post a link to that here at some point.

They got ddos'd last week too. I think they're mostly just a big shiny target.
