A somewhat redundant exercise given all the tweet archiving and indexing services that are around nowadays. I can't help but think there's nothing sinister or suspicious here and more likely an account compromise.
There was another news a couple of hours ago that they resigned from Bitcoin foundation board, so it indeed is very sinister https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?p=462
Did you read my first point? Whilst I understand it's perfectly normal for BTC community members to jump to rash conclusions, I feel this time it's misguided given the numerous ways that tweets can be recovered. So what exactly would wiping them achieve?
I'm not much of a fan of "X probably didn't do Y because I cannot guess what would be to gain."
There has been no word from Gox that their social account has been compromised so the clearest conclusion to guess is that they wiped their timeline. Why? That doesn't exactly matter before establishing who and right now the who seems to be Gox.
