This isn't new, it has been happening for some time now, but under the radar.
As Miztik said, it's normally Hostgotbooted and Callmegod who do the IP flooding bit, but more and more people are catching on. They also steal accounts, so don't talk smack to 'em or else you might have a kernal IP logger trying to get up in your business (I know this from personal experience LOL but thankfully nothing happened.)
IF you get caught doing this, you could face a hefty fine of at least $2500.00 dollars, but it's true- the FBI isn't going to get involved in this because it's a minimal problem (even though you got attacked) that I doubt they're going to try and stop.
However, network attacks are a federal offense and do have consequences, if you're actually caught.
Sorry about your predicament.
