How's Wasabi wallet connecting with Coinfirm for data analysis
Whatever coins you try to coinjoin, Wasabi pays Coinfirm to spy on those inputs and decide whether or not they are "naughty".
How are zkSNACKs servers connected to Coinfirm to check incoming UTXOs. They haven't told how it's processed. If mixers wanted to reject stolen coins wouldn't it be convenient for hacked wallets addresses be posted in a central site. It stops blockchain analysers in direct communication with mixers.

and what's Coinfirm doing with the info after they've decided coinjoin status?
We don't know, and Wasabi won't tell us. I suspect Kruw doesn't know this either - the knowledge is probably limited to the top 2 or 3 devs at Wasabi. But given that all blockchain analysis companies only exist to gather data and then sell and share that data with third parties, I would be very surprised if Coinfirm don't use this data that Wasabi pay them to gather in a variety of other nefarious ways.
When a company gets data it means they can make money from selling it. If it's sitting in the hands of data collection companies you're sure it's going to be sold. They way Kruw's explained Coinfirm isn't doing anything with the data except checking for stolen coins. Should zkSNACKs develop a different strategy to check for stolen coins?
