You seem to have trailed off on one of your bullet points and forgot to finish your thought:
"Goodman becomes very defensive towards Defango and insists that there the 'zip.file' and the"

Also, from what I understand, Defango said he got the data from the same source that Rabbit got it from. He didn't get it from Rabbit. I only remember this in passing though, and can only remember that it was from a woman interviewing him.

The whole situation with JG/GW and Defango seems to be a huge misunderstanding on Jason's part. From what I can gather, Defango was a well intentioned person trying to help, and Jason was a tech illiterate that misunderstood what Defango had to say. After completely misunderstanding the situation, Jason went too far and said Defango was controlled opposition. This caused an emotional reaction from Defango, and then Defango showed his immaturity by not being the bigger man. I personally haven't heard of Defango until he came up in JG/GW's videos, but I can see that this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion, and that they are currently working against each others' interests while having the same goal.
