My impression is that doesn't like Anshe all that much.

On one hand, she's a huge customer. One they can point at and say "See? You 
can get big bucks here". That's good to have.

On the other hand, she's too big, and wields considerable power. She 
threatened to create her own alternative to L$ in one ocassion, IIRC.

So while I don't think LL would go and screw over Anshe outright, they're 
probably not completely opposed to her losing a bit of influence either.
