you've lost me a bit on further litigation but I do hope you are right and more evidence comes out which helps in Virginia
My apologies

I didn’t mean to be cryptic. My take on the lawsuits overall is laid out below.
Adam Waldman has claimed there are interconnected legal procedures and described “the tip of a defamation iceberg”. <my comments start> Each lawsuit is leveraged into the next (or in parallel).
The divorce settlement could be counted as a win, with Amber’s DV charges thrown out with extreme prejudice and the settlement donated to charity. But with the details under an NDA all the public saw was JD giving Amber $7m.
Then Johnny sued TMG and through discovery he found the link to Bloom. He settled that case and caused a Federal probe to be launched against TMG for possible fraud and money laundering. TMG’s claims of paying off assault victims was shown to be lies.
TMG and subsequent Bloom discovery data added to the case against Amber. Bloom and Hergott ended up resigning, the company settled for an undisclosed sum and have now renamed themselves. It sounds like Johnny crushed them. The whole legal industry was also shaken by the precedent set and it forced many contract renegotiations.
The VA Defamation lawsuit incorporates all that has been learned from the previous cases and now appears to show defamation from Amber, TMG, Bloom et al and now Rocky. Waldman claims they are colluding which will not bode well for them if proven.
The Sun case underway atm is disclosing material previously locked up under the divorce NDA (eg the tapes) and has been extremely damaging for Amber.
This lawsuit (I gather) requires that The Sun prove their claims. They will be dragging out everything they can, making it a dress rehearsal for the VA case. Hopefully by the time it gets to trial in the USA, Depp’s team/s will have torn apart the lies, saving a lot of time and hobbling (but not stopping) the smears.
The VA depositions also outline criminal acts committed by Amber and her co-conspirators (and who to speak to to get answers). Once tested and accepted by the court, the State will be bound to prosecute, not Johnny himself.
All of these cases do double, triple duty or more. Johnny is vindicated, he receives compensation, gains more pieces of the hoax puzzle and triggers a whole slew of side effects and lawsuits. Johnny is not only clearing his name, he is often coming out looking good (eg defending a homeless woman against mean ol’ Rocky).
What we already know of the VA lawsuit regarding texts with Amber’s parents is that there was a financial agreement of some sort (10%) between Amber and her father. Her father and possibly her mother are now legally implicated in the fraud. He/they claim Amber’s lawyers made her file the TRO and fabricate the DV charges. That means her divorce lawyers took part in the commission of the fraud and this should lead to more charges. Will family members turn on each other?
Johnny’s deposition outlines crimes in Australia (perjury, attempting to suborn perjury, DV and biosecurity violations). The biosecurity issues, if reopened can carry serious jail time.
Once this is all aired and documented in the VA trial, the State and Federal authorities will swoop with criminal charges and investigations (as they did with TMG).
And then there’s the ACLU involvement. Their attempt to ingratiate themselves into the VA case for example. That whole connection with Amber goes way back and I doubt they will want those connections looked at too closely.
The ACLU connection will drag in metoo and TimesUp. Then the UN.
The fallout will be ugly and last for years imo.
