Any idea who might be launching the ddos attacks?
Haters. Groups paid by Steve Huffman. Script kiddies. Any rich trust fund pissant with a couple hundo to spend on the dark web.
Any basis for this conspiracy theory?
Not too much, just that it would be incredibly tempting of an option for a millionaire. Anonymously destroy your competition by paying some dark web site in Monero? Sure why not?
If that were the case, I think he would have paid a bit more and make sure it would have stayed down. No competition was destroyed here.
I think it's Far more likely that it's just a bunch of scriptkiddies saying "when I press button, error page goes brrrrrrr".
