imho the merger will go ahead.
Zip needs szl customer base and its foot prints;
szl needs zip to survive n compete with other bnpl.
Looking at the current szl mc, if zip walks away (which is i dont think), someone will swallow szl at no time.
as said on zip thread, this is going to be the biggest short squeeze heist in bnpl sector.
we will have our day and let the trolls have the laugh first.
