What is the assessment here? Are Wassabi developers comfortable continuing to operate their company and develop their projects as they currently do given the developments regarding Samurai wallet? Hopefully it through reduced to no US ties they will have no problems.
If they stop WabiSabi (name of their CoinJoin protocol) development or their mainnet WabiSabi coordinator now, people will assume the controversial blacklist[1] isn't effective to ensure survival of zkSNACKS and what they develop. So i expect they'll continue do what they currently do.

https://blog.wasabiwallet.io/zksnacks-blacklisting-update/I'll recognize that Samourai and Wassabi aren't the same and have many differences, but also people considered them competitors.
Having your competing product's founders arrested and their services shutdown sounds pretty alarming.
Are Wassabi devs still feel safe and confident? Would be nice to have this reassurance from them in a statement perhaps.
Although they might chose to follow the silent route (
whatever you say may be used against you), which is also respectable.
