>>...I’m confident that when the this scam is finally revealed, we’ll all be surprised at just how simple the tricks were...<<
Ditto! I’m about %95 convinced it is a scam, pure and simple. However, if there is some corp who wants to risk a spare 100 million or so on a %5 chance it is legit, who am I to argue?
I’ve always had a purely unsubstantiated, ridiculous, nagging, gut feeling that the “next big thing” in energy production would be discovered purely by accident during entirely unrelated research and might not even be recognized until well after the fact. But I don’t think the e-Cat is “it”.
If I was Rossi and had just invented something that will change the world overnight, I'd have it professionally tested by more than one group. Just make it clear that they can't open the box and have someone as his rep at each test to ensure they don't try to open it.
That's what doesn't make sense. If he had that kind of proof, he could stand on the rooftops and exclaim that he had just solved one of mankind's major problems! Imagine what would happen in the energy markets???
He would then be able to grant manufacturing rights to a company like GE and collect the royalty checks and he could also have GE outfit him with a complete lab to work on his inventions. I picked GE as an example, I don't like their products, I think their quality is way down from twenty years ago. But if the E-cat is real, Rossi would have his pick.
He also needs to get it out before a government entity decides it's too important for one man to own the rights and to steal it right out from under him. Now, don't say that's why he acts the way he does, none of his theatrics would protect him from an Atlas Shrugged type government.
