That's just called "not wanting to get in trouble." Liquidity means many things, though usually it means "has more money than debts owed" while in this specific case, it only meant "income > spending" Those are two definitions of liquid, and he doesn't want to slip up when the lawyer asked a vague question that doesn't define the term appropriately. A stock exchange is liquid if it has as much money in the bank as assets that traders are holding on the platform. That's the standard definition, but it did NOT apply here.

The lawyer was asking such MISLEADING questions. Liquidity doesn't show if a person is broke. Almost all of us have liquidity problems i.e our short term liabilities are more than our short term assets (i.e cash coming in) The Accountant CLEARLY stated that Depp has multiple Long Term Assets (properties, etc) Depp can easily sell off one of his LT Assets to pay off loans or ST liabilities. In no way is he facing "money problems" just because of liquidity. We all take loans because we have liquidity problems and we pay it off over a period of time. I was SO PISSED with his questions. He clearly doesn't understand hiw money and finances work.

Accounting requires ability to analyze, self correct and learn, because generally you are working with hard unbending numbers, and even more ruthless laws. Being able back up everything you do with a paper trail and process you used. A lot of lawyers can get through a lot of cases on pure bullshit and emotional appeal, and 90% of their arguments can and will be changed at any time. Case in point, Rottenborn 10 minutes after this clip defends against the hearsay objection he used previously, with much less basis, but gets it overruled, by the same judge that allowed it before. Its different kinds of intelligence, but I would say the accountants are gonna be on average more intelligent than lawyers because it is a requirement.

Yes he has drug and drinking issues but so does she if what people are saying is true that she was drinking 1 to 2 bottles of wine a day. She seems like the abusive one not him and her legal team knows it and are trying to get things that have nothing to do with if he was abusing her because the point of this trial is about if she lied when saying he abused her because it cost him money and his reputation by her saying he did.

He knows, he's just acting dumb to position himself so he can sneak in that one line, "spending more than he was taking in!!". Well, not knowingly (spending more) of course, because if he'd known people had been ripping him off for years and wiping out his assets, you can bet he'd have stopped spending so much.

Lawyers are supposed to have the skill to analyse the data they have and decide if this is a case to pick up or ignore. They went on and took the case even when more than half of the data they had was full of baseless claims and lies made up by Amber. I find it difficult that these lawyers couldn't understand that most of the infornation they had were baseless and hollow. Either they knew it and still sided with Amber or they simply believed that she was the victim and went on with it. Whatever the reason, this case might be the worst thing happened to them.

But it ends up making him look too stupid to do this type of work. the witnesses just look dumbfounded then either sigh or give that 'this is ridiculous' smile.

Although anybody with a brain would could see the evidence brought forth by Depp, and obviously tell what her intentions were
