Just to make sure: compared to exchanges, which may freeze 'tainted' coins (after you sent them), does Wasabi CoinJoin also freeze blacklisted UTXOs or does it 'just not accept them into a CoinJoin' (so you still have the option to move them to Bisq or wherever)?
I don't think they can freeze coins even if they want to do it, but it's possible they will report transaction was attempted and some fees will probably be charged.
However, this is just my speculation so I would like to hear from Wasabi developers or maybe icopress can ask them about this.
We can collect a bunch of question related with this and he can forward them directly to wasabi team.

This would make sense if we're talking about a non-custodial wallet like Bisq, which uses multi-sig to "escrow" fund for trades.  Any UTXOs that aren't locked up in a multi-sig transaction are completely under the of the user.  How does CoinJoin (or JoinMarket, for that matter,) differ?  Isn't Wasabi supposed to be a completely non-custodial?  In technical terms how is the wallet able to prevent someone from sending tainted funds to the join pool?  Does the pool just send those funds back to the address from whence it came?
