Marathon is not blocking transactions from specific wallets.

They are simply refusing the try to solve blocks with transactions inside from known bad actors.

Thats fine, it just means that there is more block rewards for the 99% of the mining majority that don’t care what is within a block, and will mine it no matter what.

You have got to remember, there is an over $100,000 reward to mine a block, someone will mine it. All Marathon is doing is saying they won’t mine for those blocks.

They are a mining investment company, they can decide if they do or don’t want to mine a block, they can’t enforce everyone else to not mine that block.

Edit: and one point to add to this, what Marathon is attempting to achieve is nothing more than a regulations and marketing ploy. Any “bad actor” they deem, could simply create a fresh brand new bitcoin wallet with zero historical data, and execute their transaction from that fresh wallet, and then marathon would be mining their transaction with no knowledge of who or what sent it.
