I read today that Rossi has a history.

In the 1990s, he served prison time after claiming that a company he started, called PetrolDragon, could convert toxic waste to oil, but instead the 70,000 tons of waste accumulated by the company was left to rot on-site. Ten years later, Rossi was acquitted by the Italian government. And he's back to making miracles.

HERE is the list of newspaper stories I was able to find related to Rossi's numerous convictions, not just for the "toxic waste" problem (which has cost almost $50 million to clean up), but for several, unrelated fraud crimes.

As far as I was able to tell, he was acquitted of the toxic waste charges, but not the financial fraud charges, which included a 2000 conviction for bankruptcy fraud, with an 8-year prison sentence.

Crip, Rossi got a Green Card from President Jimmy Carter for that process.
