Or as discussed they are relocating miners for other coins 1st.

Since mid June LTC has had drops of 3%, 10%, 10%, 23%, 8% yesterday it went up 15% and it looks like it's going to be up 10%+ in a couple of days.
So there is a lot of gear that went off and then on again. Figure its just a bit of time until the SHA miners come back online.

Depending on how production / sales are going on miners. They might just be getting boxed up and prepped for shipment to other places that were waiting for hardware.
