Why do you set aside Rossi’s fraudulent degree as “a separate issue?” its not a separate issue at all—his claimed credentials for his current project are fraudulent. As for your discrimination between scientific fraud and financial fraud, keep in mind that Rossi has taken money from investors and has already tried to franchise his product. His goal, IMHO, is to defraud a bunch of people with his E-Cat story.
Because it "is" a separate issue. His credentials or lack of same have zero effect on the data that comes out of the tests/demos.

Really.....prove it. The ONLY deal that was signed and public was that with Defkalion, and that was on the sole condition that Rossi got paid by Defkalion ONLY if his product performed to specs. That fell through not because of anything "Rossi" did, but because Defkalion couldn't raise the money. And if you'll look into his current requirements, the only difference between what he wants now, and the Defkalion deal is that the franchise fee has to be put into an escrow account up front, NOT paid to Rossi. Rossi STILL doesn't get paid unless his technology performs as specified.

The above franchising conditions are NOT set up to benefit a scam. And in fact, given those conditions, a scam cannot possibly work.
His goal, IMHO
***That’s just your opinion. You proceed from it as if it were a fact. But it ain’t a fact. It’s just an opinion.
And all those people he took money from, they would have to be incredibly stupid, knowing that Rossi’s background isn’t extra virgin olive oil fresh, by not looking extra hard at the scientific evidence being claimed. Why do seagulls constantly overlook this particular fact on the ground?
