Your comments are straight up factually misrepresenting what happened. There were plenty of news reports early this year that DoJ was preparing to file suit against the merger. I guarantee they were in close contact with Adobe's lawyers, and the normal process here is that Adobe's lawyers/execs come back and say "hold up, let's see if we can make a deal" - that's essentially what happens in the vast majority of lawsuits.
Adobe (and Figma) knew full well this deal wasn't a slam dunk from the beginning.
- Dylan16807 3y agoThreatening a lawsuit is better than nothing but it definitely didn't lead to a quick resolution. At a certain point the answer to whether they can make a deal needs to be "no", not "we'll wait".

- matthewowen 3y agoYou’ve posted this about me twice. I haven’t shown any ire and I think it’s counter to the spirit of hacker news to suggest bad faith in my posts based on my proximity to the topic.

- robocat 3y ago> Well he works there and misses out That's a fine point to make > hence his ire Putting your spin on the actions of others is beyond rude > Your weasel words are weasley. That's 100% against the HN guidelines and community I suggest if you wish to disagree then try doing it without being disagreeable
