I agree with you there, about the time sensitive part. It does make sense that if Defkalion were independent of Rossi (or a 3rd party over them both), and formerly cooperated with Rossi in his scam, they might try to salvage the situation by conducting an operation that looks like what they are doing now. Claim to have independently developed the same tech. and rush to sell it before either they or Rossi are exposed (at which time it's up for everyone involved).
So: IF they announce they have Ecats for sale, we'll have to see whether they offer proof for the operation of their Ecats first, and how any sales are to be structured (such as the claim for Rossi's 1 MW units that money is held in escrow until the buyer is satisfied.)
If they try to offer Ecats for sale based on the shared hype between them and Rossi but without offering their own proof, then the red flags go up. But if they do offer convincing evidence, then that vindicates both them and Rossi.
Agreed, but as for proof, I’d like to see them ship the components to a certification lab like TUV, have them assemble the unit and test it any way they like.
