Another reason why it would be a great acquisition for them is that it would give them a huge competitive advantage over other blockchain analysis firms. They'd be the only ones able to provide data on Wasabi CoinJoin'ed transactions.
Wouldn't it be more likely for all privacy minded users to abandon Wasabi entirely? Even if the current bad reputation isn't enough, that will end the moment it's bought by a blockchain analysis company.
Bought by a blockchain analysis company?
Besides self-sabotage, why would one of them try to buy out Wasabi Wallet (and zksnacks). Would that not be counter-intuitive since they would lose money buying something to destroy?
I highly doubt that such a move would destroy the wallet; zkSNACKs already successfully convinced their remaining user base that the current collaboration with blockchain analysis is not a privacy issue, so I think they'll market it successfully, again.
