TL;DR
This is the last straw for me and BitFinex.
After this I move everything out.
This was posted on IRC and I thought I'd add it to this thread.

I am guessing it's DDoS , because it says "too heavy load".
I am guessing Bitfinex is lying about what's happened here.
i think it could be someone trying to manipulate the market again , like in march / april
with mtgox - same thing happened
t would be nice to hear from someone , to know what's happening
somebody ran the price up from 1000 - 1020
then , started DDoS on bitfinex
because its probably the easiest exchange to DDoS
then , dumped a hella lot of coins
what happens next ? we wait to see
*******
Bottom line: I think BitFinex are lying about problems in Iceland.
Worst of all there is not even an update on their situation.
This is the last straw for me.
After this I am moving everything to MtGox.
