DOJ Preps Antitrust Suit to Block Adobe’s $20B Figma Deal
In case you ever find yourself with as much leverage as Figma seemingly had… always negotiate a break up fee to compensate for exactly this.T-Mobile famously got a $4B breakup fee after DOJ blocked ATT from acquiring them. That $4B was used to buy more spectrum and overhaul the brand, leading to huge growth to the point that T-Mobile is now a big 3 player (it used to be big 2 only).If Figma wrangles $2-3B cash out of this, they could probably take down the entire adobe ecosystem.
