Let's take the case of Chelsea Clinton's father-in-law. He was a broker and he had a fair bit of personal wealth at the time, and he also had access to brokerage accounts. Apparently you have to make declarations from time to time about your own wealth, so he did that. Then, he went bankrupt. Just ran out of money, went from $800 K down to Zip, and had no accounting for what he did with the money. The trading accounts he had access to also lost.
So, they busted him and sent him to prison.
He never once blamed the Mob. Just took it like a man and served his time, but it was pretty obvious he'd been shaken down for something ~ most usually it's for GAMBLING debts.
Rossi's own story is that the gunk to gas project worked fine but a local member of the Italian parliament was in league with the mob to force him out of the hydrocarbon recovery business and got their version of EPA to change the rules just as he was starting to work.
In short, he bucked the mob (if you think such things can happen). He didn't go bankrupt either ~ which is almost guaranteed to happen if you go along with them (like Chelsea's father in law).
There were still partners in that deal ~ do you know what happened to them?
Neither one of you guys is suspicious enough ~ and it shows.I think the word you are looking for is paranoid. I bow to your supreme mastery of it.
Rossi's own story is that the gunk to gas project worked fine but a local member of the Italian parliament was in league with the mob to force him out of the hydrocarbon recovery business and got their version of EPA to change the rules just as he was starting to work.Yes, that's Rossi's version. Just like O.J. Simpson's version is that he was in his backyard in the middle of the night, in the dark, hitting golf balls around when his ex-wife was murdered.
It is more likely that his "gunk to gas" project was just a hoax for the purpose of money laundering. The fact that his "partners" were continuing to claim the expense of buying fuel from him for over a year after Dragon Petrol was shut down is pretty compelling evidence of that. The fact that Rossi was busy buying abandoned refineries to provide places to store the "gunk" that he wasn't actually processing is pretty compelling evidence of that. And, the fact that Rossi was always convicted along with several other business owners is pretty compelling evidence that he was actually involved with organized crime, not a victim of it.
“There were still partners in that deal ~ do you know what happened to them?”
No, nor do I care very much. Maybe the black helicopters came for them or they went up with the Energizer Bunny.
My interest in these threads is whether the water heaters will ever appear. That will be the answer to most questions.
So let’s not “take the case of Chelsea Clinton’s father-in-law”
