The regulators should be blocking such acquisitions

Sure seems like they will, but it will probably take a month or more to find out if they will try.

In the meantime, Adobe gets to see the inside of Figma, poke around the code, etc? I wonder if that is the plan: Suck up as much information as possible before the regulators shut it down. Sorry, it's not our fault we can't give you $50 billion and have you join the team...

They agreed to pay a $1 billion termination fee if the deal goes south.
