there is a difference between typical market manipulation through rumors, sell offs, etc and downing the bitcoin sites. it would like someone calling in a bomb threat to wallstreet and shutting it down.
its just so easy to ddos sites. the same people mining bitcoins with botnets are most likely the same ones ddosing the sites. they already have the botnets.
