Doesn't mean a thing. His only conflict with the law was in Italy. Their system is substantially different than ours so it's difficult to determine if what happened was meaningful. There are specialists in these things who could provide a judgment of sorts but so far none of them have tackled this.

They also collect taxes by evaluating your lifestyle.

Now, finding things in the debris ~ the most popular theory is this is all LOW ENERGY PHYSICS and the implication is that we are dealing with either THE WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE or just plain old fashioned tunneling. Few "things" should be found.

Really?!? We can disregard fraud if it occurs in Italy?!?

I've reviewed (and posted in an earlier thread), several news accounts of Rossi's court cases. He wasn't an innocent victim of the Italian government's changing and inconsistent environmental laws. He was committing fraud, specifically money laundering. He was convicted at least twice, once for his bogus "garbage to fuel" scam, and once for a scam involving shipping tons of nonexistent gold.

The only "defense" I've seen regarding Rossi's history is Rossi himself. Obviously, his self-serving statements should be viewed with skepticism.
