Bullshit arguments are bullshit.
You always have to trust the intentions and coding skills of the developers. Being open-source just minimizing the trust. I do consider a host variety of software to be trustless, but if I notice suspicious activity, then I'm packing my things and leaving. After seeing "privacy advocates" doxxing their competitors, funding what they're supposedly fighting against, people on the Internet accusing they've been de-anonymized by the said software, Wasabi devs outright lying, and seeing myself coinjoins with address reuse, then I don't have to study your codebase to make up my mind.

To me, it is crystal clear that Wasabi is not to be trusted.
That's the whole point: You never have to trust Wasabi because it's TRUSTLESS SOFTWARE.
You do not have to trust anyone with your data.
You do not have to trust anyone with your funds.
It's designed to provide complete privacy, and it's completely open source for you to verify this for yourself: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi
Are Wassabi devs still feel safe and confident? Would be nice to have this reassurance from them in a statement perhaps.
You've probably not followed the events of Wasabi in 2022. Here are a few topics to read:- The default Wasabi Wallet coordinator will start censoring "illegal" UTXOs.
- Wasabi blacklisting update - open letter / 24 questions discussion thread.
- Re: Petition to remove Wasabi from recommendations of bitcoin.org.
To me, it is crystal clear that Wasabi is not to be trusted. Maybe some coinjoins will work, but there is a vast amount of accusations, lies, inappropriate and diplomatic responses from the developers, and on top of that, they are funding blockchain surveillance.
zkSNACKs and Wasabi Wallet has been blocked for US citizens.
How can they block access to US citizens if connection to the coordinator is established via hidden service?What a disgusting statement.
Are you capable of experiencing emotions? That's quite groundbreaking news. 
What a disgusting statement. It's incredible how much the members of this forum hate the people who create open source privacy tools.
Nope, hence the sadness that the US has gone this bad. What members like myself hate are sponsors and financiers of blockchain analysis companies portraying themselves as privacy advocates. I also hate scum who wish death and illness on forum members and people much better than themselves. Do you recognize yourself in those words? Not that I am one bit sorry for Wasabi or zkSNACKs. They deserve the storm if it ends up coming their way.

The Land of the Free is no more!
zkSNACKs and Wasabi Wallet has been blocked for US citizens. They can no longer download the software or interact with its APIs and other services. US IP addresses have been blocked.
Not that I am one bit sorry for Wasabi or zkSNACKs. They deserve the storm if it ends up coming their way. It's sad for anyone in the US who still relied on Wasabi (they shouldn't have) to improve their privacy.
Hopefully America will be free one day.

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.

Having your competing product's founders arrested and their services shutdown sounds pretty alarming.

Although they might chose to follow the silent route (whatever you say may be used against you), which is also respectable.

So over FIFTY MILLION Dollars went through the Coin Join and your Blockchain Analysis partner did not bat a single eyelash about it? It circles straight back to my initial fears about Wasabi now becoming a great tool for politicians and wealthy people who are ACTUALLY criminals as a simple bribe can result in a bypass to further Anonymize illicit funds.
Being rich is not a crime. Only socialist propaganda claims otherwise.
I am more surprised by the amount freely bypassing the Blockchain Analysis company filter rather than the nonsensical arguments Kruw brings all the time anyway. You could get a better answer from the echo of a cave than what Kruw argues.

Now I really wonder how this works. If I deposit 850 Bitcoin to ANY Centralized Exchange, I would most certainly be requested documentation immediately given the immense amount deposited. It is no ordinary deposit. Hell. Here in my country, even market cashiers check the legitimacy of Bank notes if you pay for groceries worth more than a few hundred Dollars.
So how does this filter works exactly? In fact. How about we get an answer straight from the Analysis firm themselves? Curiosity is now at an All Time High for me. Why did the Blockchain Analysis firm decide to close an eye to this amount?

How would that user know they were banned because of bad chainalysis and not connectivity issues, which it’s common to have with Tor?
I guess, we will never find out. Perhaps the software might flag it as "naughty" and it might be verifiable in the client's debug log, but it doesn't matter much, because the coordinator could have blacklist it and blame it to connection issues. Samourai also bans coins, but when you try to ask them about it TDev will give a nonsense word salad reply or accuse you, without any evidence whatsoever, of being a malicious actor from Wasabi trying to attack their coinjoins.
I mean, I know. TDev is a jerk. I once tried to make a question in their Telegram, and the guy censored my messages simply because they had already been answered years ago, aka "use the search". And yes, in every coinjoin implementation there's "coin ban". If you start DDoSing, or provide invalid signatures, then the coordinator is programmed to ban you. That's entirely different and understandable. The problem comes when you censor based on ethics.

In other news, Wasabi's default coordinator refuses to mix a "clean" coinbase tx0, because it flags their chain analysis filters.
