I watched the remaining videos. It confirms pretty much what I stated earlier with some additional intel.
First, Rosen is very likely suffering from ADHD and his attorney did what he could to keep him focused. GS's attorney in turn knew this about Rosen and slowly and meticulously raked Rosen through the coals mercilessly. It felt like a form of medieval torture.
Despite anything Rosen could say, GS's attorney kept asking the same question, "Where does it say that GS purchased 50m warrants of HMBL for $5k?" Once Rosen saw that his claim was baseless, he lost it and chose to cancel the deposition. It was an emotional move that may cost him dearly, going forward.
After watching all six videos...
It became clear to me what GS and his attorney were doing. They knew ahead of time that they would be taping the deposition and eventually posting them on twitter, hence, every question and every laboriously repeated question was deliberately orchestrated to let Rosen look like a 'clown' on his own terms. They basically let Rosen hang himself in front of his followers. ...and quite frankly, it worked. Rosen not only looked like a fool but he shared very personal info and past delinquencies. The level of embarrassment from admitting his past faults was bad enough but absolutely escalated beyond recognition once he knew that the videos were available unvarnished on YouTube/X for his followers and public to watch for generations to come! Ouch!
Rosen must be absolutely beside himself right now! ...and will only go bonkers when he sits down to settle with GS. If you recall how GS handled Callesse, I would expect a similar situation, i.e. "here's my deal for today. If you don't take it, tomorrows will be half as much, and so forth." ...and since GS's intent is to make Rosen a poster child for his other enemies to see, you can be quite certain that GS will not make life easy for Rosen for a very long time.
Some may see all of GS's efforts as just personal revenge, which I'm sure some of it maybe true, however, I'm of the belief that GS is simply being business prudent. Prior to closing any deals with his tickers, he wants to be absolutely certain that any one even thinking of orchestrating a 'coordinated attack' or similar on his tickers, ...that they should think again or otherwise face lifelong consequences.
If I were one of his partners or investors, I'd certainly be looking for these assurances before moving forward.
All that said...
Does GS have deals lined up or not for this Fall? I'd be inclined to say, yes. Regardless, ...one thing is for sure... GS knows very well that all it takes is one tweet to send all of his tickers north. He's not going to waste that opportunity unless he's 150% certain it will stick.
