Wasabi Wallet stopped being a coordinator on June 01 2024. When o_e_l_e_o posted on Jun 21 2023 it was correct because zkSNACKs were devs & coordinators. The naughty coins parameter with Wasabi Wallet doesn't exist since they gave up being coordinators. Wabisator's got 4 coordinators in the list ppl will have to add one if they want to use Wasabi Wallet.

Wasabi's open source so if it's capable of spying it would've been talked about & moved out. They stopped being a coordinator after they felt under pressure.

But the answer to that lives inside the thread (by o_e_l_e_o):

Wasabi use the fees you pay them to actively fund blockchain analysis and pay the company Coinfirm to analyze your UTXOs, spy on your transactions, and decide whether or not you are even allowed to use their coinjoin implementation at all. Here's some fun code from Wasabi (https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/blob/795496595fae2f52730e1556bb6cafd2c649bb97/WalletWasabi.Tests/UnitTests/WabiSabi/Backend/CoinVerifierTests.cs#L133-L142):
Code:
ScheduleVerifications(coinVerifier, generatedCoins);
foreach (var item in await coinVerifier.VerifyCoinsAsync(generatedCoins, CancellationToken.None))
{
if (item.ShouldBan)
{
naughtyCoins.Add(item.Coin);
}
}

Assert.Empty(naughtyCoins); // Empty, so we won't kick out anyone from the CJ round.

Are your coins "naughty"? Once Wasabi have spied on them and made that decision
