Yes it will.
I'll be curious to see what the response says, but if I had to guess they don't have much of a case despite the retraction. If I had to guess Honig's attorney's probably wrote that retraction or at least said what had to go into it. If that's the case then the lawsuit is likely frivolous.
My guess is that Honig thinks there is some web of individuals trying to bring him down since he seems like a very paranoid person. If I had to guess the case won't get much further past that. Honig would not want to open himself up to discovery, especially from a short seller who would probably love to dive into that can of worms. Anyway, I believe the response has to be posted by tomorrow so that should be interesting to read.
