The group got Rossi'd a couple years back and we're still

Ditto the entire LENR world, I'm afraid.
I think the issue still remains: *did* Rossi turn Nickel into copper
-- and produce excess energy -- *at all*. Or not.
The 'con' part is the _least_ part, AFAIC. Maybe his ambition made him
stoopid. What is the REAL physics going on here, regardless..??
There almost certainly isn't any interesting physics here. He's been
proved to lie about his experiments and falsify his data. Consequently
the only reason to believe there is anything interesting going on inside
the ecat is blind faith, which has no place here.
IOW, the only reason for thinking there might be something magical going
on here is "Rossi said so" and that's worthless.
If you want to spend time digging into all his reported results, and try
to figure out exactly how each one was faked, and who must have colluded
with him and who was just a patsy and what bits of misleading data he
had to provide to fool various people, you can certainly do so, but the
world is so chock-full of frauds that it hardly seems worth the effort.
I'm not sympathetic to people who commit fraud. I've had far too much
experience with the "alternative medicine" field, which is very similar
to the "free energy" field, and it has used up my patience for such slime.
