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.
I find that unbelievable ~ Italian mob continues to have connections to Chicago mob ~
At the same time you almost never find one of their victims or their employees complaining about them. Rossi complains.
