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.
