Glad someone is helping to clear that up. They aren't "going after bitcoin" they are going after MtGox's US assets, since they made false claims on their business applications. To say that the US Govt is "clamping down" on Bitcoin is fucking horrible journalism, and I would recommend never using whoever wrote that as a source.

I'm telling you, MtGox is run by a bunch of goofballs, and they need to be replaced by several exchanges for BTC to progress from here.
