The main source I've read on DDOS extortion is "Fatal System Error". It's largely about Barrett Lyon's company Prolexic, a company specifically providing DDOS protection for online casinos. But that's just one example, I think there are many more. I have zero specific evidence that there's been DDOS extortion against BitCoin providers, but it sure seems plausible.
