He claimed he spent all his own money and even had to sell his house -- that was on his blog and answers to interview questions. Many people who believe Rossi believe him mainly because they can't understand how he could profit from a scam without taking money. Now it turns out that Ampenergo claims they gave him substantial sums, Defkalion seems to be saying the same, and Rossi apparently asked Quantum and NASA for $15 million or more. And of course, nobody knows how much he may have collected or be about to collect from anonymous investors under NDA's. The reason the NyTeknik information and Krivit's are important is that they destroys Rossi's claim that he can't be a scammer because he either did not receive money and/or did not solicit it. Either or both seem to be another lie.
