In that article one comment stood out and is probable closest to the truth:
[Fly on the wall in the Linden Boardroom]
Colo facility manager: At the rate you are adding new servers we're going to run out of room soon, not to mention fall way behind on the fiber op project.
Director A: So we'd need to get a new facility going, more buildings, more operating costs, more headaches...
Director B: Maybe we're big enough? If we shift the price point up, we can stop growing so fast and maximize our profits from the existing infrastructure.
(General agreement)
Director A: So it's settled, for our purposes it makes sense to raise prices and curb growth. Now, M Linden? You and your team go and make up some reason why this is all the customers' fault.
M Linden: We'll get right on it.

Surprising just how Linden Lab has managed to cause a Real Estate Bubble & then a Crash strikingly similar to Real life. They even try to spin the numbers.
Next will there be a bailout plan and infusion of Lindens into the economy?
