That's Rossi's version of events. The facts are considerably more damning. He was also convicted of money laundering, tax evasion and racketeering related to Petrol Dragon, as well as convicted of fraud and tax evasion on the totally unrelated "gold shipment" scam.

I've collected a large number of references you might want to check out before you reach any conclusions about Rossi's credibility. The LINK is just a few posts above this one.
