While I do not speak for them, that's my impression. They are patient & forgiving people, and they put up with a lot of guff from researchers. Not just from Rossi. They might even be willing to pay Rossi large sums of money for that, although I can't imagine they would give him $89 million right away. I do not think Rossi is mad. I think he is in it for the money. > What he cannot do is facilitate another sham like Lugano and expect to > maintain his loyal following, with instant creds or future investment. > According to Lewan and various rumors I have heard, he has already found his next group of victims, and he has collected money from them. I predict he will go on defrauding people until he is imprisoned. It is possible Rossi is a genius, an inventor, a fraud and a con man -- all at the same time. That is how I would describe Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs. In Rossi's case, I cannot tell whether he has actually invented anything real. - Jed
