Rossi makes a claim that the mob used political connections they had to run him out of business ~ even get him charged with environmental crimes.
BTW, none of you have been very credible with your explanation of "gold" in all of this. Europe has interesting controls in place that can turn you into a criminal for thinking about it ~ remember, Switzerland is not part of the EU. You cross that border with paper dealing with gold, or gold, one way or the other, you can have problems.
Now, about the big news ~ pulling photons out of the vacuum. This is beginning to look like a trivial problem ~ and for all anybody knows that's what the guys with the chunks of Paladium, or nickel powder, or whatever have been doing. Fur Shur none of them are all that certain what theory they are proving out.
Your complaints of "hidden chemistry" continue to overlook the fact that "chemistry" is just a manifestation of the "Electroweak" force, and most of the LENR projects claim some connection to that force ~ but it doesn't mean they're playing with chemistry, or magnetism.
I find it all a quite entertaining show.
BTW, when I started out paying attention to science the cell nucleus continued to show up as a blob with inclusions. Our ability to examine the nucleus has improved MILLIONS OF TIMES. Same with most other things "scientific". Much of this is simply beyond the ability of mere citizens to scope out ~ we don't have the equipment. That was probably Rossi's problem so he went to Focardi, the retired professor.
If I were you I'd keep my eye on Focardi.

You are talking out of your ass. If you want to know the details of Rossi’s problems with the Italian tax authorities, ask them. Have you ever even been to CH or crossed in from Italy?
