Reddit user says fake Wasabi wallet app on App Store drained 0.9 BTC

A Reddit user on r/Bitcoin claims a fake app called "Wasabi Bitcoin & Crypto Wallet" passed Apple's App Store review and drained a wallet they created inside it. The post states the wallet was drained in a single transaction in August, about 0.9 BTC, roughly $53k at the time, and that the app impersonated the real Wasabi Wallet, which the poster says is open-source, desktop-only software that has never had a mobile app. The poster also says there is no way to talk to a person at Apple about it, only web forms, and that they filed a police report.
