But presumably the upper / middle class needs the harbor to do business and probably depends on it more than others for their livelihood, no? It's not something that's clearly established or definitive, and I expect we will get an answer soon enough... just saying there is an interpretation whereby the wealthy locals don't really have motive for this specific act.
Could be wrong... maybe it's all still local. Agree that there is no obvious culprit in Westeros, unless LF was trying to sabotage her in order to protect his master plan to eventually rule. And we know LF and Varys are at odds, so he could have taken an interest once Varys fled and he figured out his plans.
Angle for the Iron Bank would be similar, just looking to shore up their investment in Westeros and head off any potential rivals early on. If they can fund a whole army for Stannis to squander in the north, a guerrilla insurgency in Mereen is small potatoes by comparison.
