How are the people you mentioned are "innocent" people? To me it looks like they arrested a bunch of hackers and scammers, why would that be wrong, and if all the claims are facts and true, then they are indeed honeypot, but what would be a good move is to pay at least 2 reputable experts to audit their code in secret and when their report was ready to publish, they could publish it themselves, however they won't lie to damage their reps, also they won't simply do the audit for free, so there is that.
But if there was no "software" related flaws, and the leakes were server or user related, then you'll have nothing to complain about.

Wasabi never denies leak. Probably true... they only care about money.
Wasabi is a honeypot and works with BC analysis. BC analysis give evidence to put innocent people in jail. Everyone working with Wasabi is guilty collaborater.

Can anyone access any of those links using Tor Browser? The estimated waiting time is <3 minutes, but i already wait for over 15 minutes with no change.
I waited for less than a minute to access what is in the links, though they have some very hard captcha challengeThe profile that made the quoted posts in the dread forum (MoneroHead) seems to be a long time critic of Wasabi wallet. This perhaps explains why they went out so hard by calling Nopara73 a scammer. I don't know if he scammed anyone.
But here is part of the post history. Perhaps OP is MoneroHead?

I can neither access Dread.
But can we trust that leak, especially when it comes from Samourai Wallet who also has some controversy and few questionable behavior on social media?
Very questionable. I cannot find these documents in samourai's tweet anywhere. Maybe someone else can.

I can confirm that I waited less than 3 minutes, and that after some strange captcha I was able to see the content. The home page that opens contains exactly what is in the OP. Maybe the problem was only temporary, or you should try changing the Tor Circuit (if you haven't already).

A few months ago it was leaked on Twitter that the Wasabi team were trying to sell shares or even sell the company entirely, and were "open to the idea of merger and acquisition": https://nitter.cz/SamouraiWallet/status/1708068554208117028#m
Does this mean they found some institutional buyer and so some of the devs are selling out and leaving?

Wasabi have been bought by bigger company with advert budget. But who? Exchange? BC analysis? Law enforcement? What a scam!
I think you mean zksnacks. Wasabi is not the company, it's just the name of the wallet. The full-time wasabi devs work for zksnacks.
So
Wasabi volume dying....https://i.postimg.cc/wj12bP0t/image.png
Wasabi then want to sell company
3 months later and nopara sells up and quits
Now Wasabi get magic funds from some where to do signature adverts on forum???

Everyone should use Wasabi above all else.
Everyone except:
Everyone except:
- People who do not want to risk their privacy with faulty software.
- People who would rather not pay blockchain analysis firm to spy their inputs.
- And people who do not like treating their bitcoin as non-fungible.
I wonder what our Wasabi Wallet forum fan and shill Kruw will say about all of this? History tends to repeat itself, so I expect he will point the finger and call other implementations faulty, highlighting the open-source nature of Wasabi.
I don't support or like anything related to Wasabi, but it's important to keep in mind that if a user has a problem on a CEX because their coins come from a mixer or coinjoin implementation, it isn't a fault of the privacy tool they used. It's the CEXs hating on anything privacy-related or privacy-improving.

Nopara73, the lead developer at failed bitcoin wallet Wasabi, has decided to leave the project. In his wake he leaves behind over 132 arrests of users who were scammed into believing that Wasabi provided any kind of transactional privacy whatsoever.
Both Wasabi 1.0 and its later 2.0 incarnation were demonstrably broken.
In early 2022 Wasabi admitted to working with chain analysis companies in order to identify and filter bitcoins entering their system. These are the same chain analysis companies that are providing information and "evidence" to be used for the government prosecution of privacy developers like Roman Sterlingov and Alexey Pertsev. In effect, Wasabi has been operating as a law enforcement honeypot.

Questions keep arising concerning Wasabi Wallet mixing. Wasabi bugs, user arrests, user accounts flagged and so forth are becoming too numerous to keep track of.
I will try to keep this list up-to-date as new elements become available and are documented.
UPDATE: As Wasabi Wallet flaws continue to be ignored this list is also kept up-to-date at http://scam7kwuwdjksshy6ocig5k34zuxigvhjbdy2hkvqbqsylt6eey2fmyd.onion/

There have been 5 documented cases of coinjoins being flagged by exchanges and brokers. All have concerned Wasabi. Rather than fix recurring issues with their implementation, Wasabi claimed that the problem was due to an anti-coinjoin campaign by KYC actors despite the fact that only Wasabi coinjoins have ever been targeted https://6102bitcoin.com/coinjoin-flagging/ (Update: now 6 documented cases. See below.)
6 arrests each from PlusToken and WoToken scams. See OXT Research links below.
