While i agree there's ethical problem, IMO it's problem between ChipMixer and the user who wear copycat signature, all we need to do is let ChipMixer representative know about this problem.

Wasabi is not a profitable service

While i doubt it's profitable, there's 0.003% coordinator fee.

According to Chainalysis, Wasabi mixed $250,000,000 in 2019*. That means $750,000 has been paid in coordinator fees, which seems pretty profitably to me Grin.

$250 million times 0.003% is $7500. OTOH the 0.003% fee is per anonymity set and Wasabi uses 50+ sets by default, so it's a 0.15% minimum total fee, usually higher. $400-500k would be a more reasonable estimate, but that's just the revenue. There are costs/expenses for sure.

At any rate, I'd say nopara73 claiming that he makes money is good enough to assume there is profit, and I'm sure he could pay for a signature if he wanted to, and I'm quite sure he's not paying for Gyrsur's copypasta signature.
