I am surely not making any friends at Defkalion. This is a surrealistic conversation.

To have member of the Board of Directors accusing you of criminal activity in the mass media is the worst public relations nightmare I have ever heard of. It seems to me that if they are going to begin allowing visitors, they should invite Stremmenos first. . Dear Mr Rothwell, Prof Christos Stremmenos accused us in public for not paying Andrea Rossi for what he could not deliver, claiming such reason as his "ethical problem" with our company. We have not heard or read anything about accusations against us for *criminal activity *either from C.Stremmenos nor any one else. If you did, please provide us here with a link or a reference. Otherwise, please edit your last post immediately. Still C. Stremmenos is a member of our board, as he has never resigned from his position (or his shares he got for free for his past and expected services to his country) in the company claiming ethical problems with. And this is a personal logical contradiction, not a PR problem of our company. As a member of our board and a great patriot, as we still believe he is, Christos Stremmenos needs no invitation to visit any time our HQ or any of our labs, which he has not visited for 7 months now.

I did not read Stremmenos' accusation about not paying Andrea Rossi. I know nothing about that. It a private business matter between you and Rossi. (A matter of civil law.) I was not talking about that. In NyTeknik and elsewhere Stremmenos claimed that you do not have the reactor core technology. Rossi also said this, as you know. Yet during your June press conference and in this web site, you claim that you have working reactors. I do not know about the laws in Greece or the EU, but in the U.S. or Japan, if you do not have a working product yet you claim that you do, this is false advertising. It is a criminal offense, not a civil offense. It is against the law to offer for sale something you do not have and cannot get. A common example would be an electronics store offering a laptop computer at a low price to bring in customers, when the store does not have the laptop in stock. If what Stremmenos and Rossi say is true, then you are soliciting customers and dealers to sell a product you do not have in stock, you have no means to manufacture, and you have no legal right to sell. You are asking dealers to commit tens of millions of Euros, as I recall. In my experience doing business in the U.S., if a company were to do this, and a company officer such as a member of the Board of Directors were to publicly declare the company does not actually have the product, this would be headline news in the business section of the local newspaper. Regulators and the police would show up at the company the next day with search warrants. The company would be closed down, pending an investigation. I think this would also happen in Japan. I do not suppose that Stremmenos and Rossi are correct. I assume there is a misunderstanding, and you actually do have working reactors. Therefore I recommend you invite Stremmenos into you lab as soon as possible, and prove to him that you have the reactor cores. Ask him to please publish a retraction in NyTeknik. I also strongly recommend you publish an independent third party test of your equipment, to put these and all other doubts to rest. I will grant, this could be a cultural difference. However, I assure you that in the U.S. or Japan, having a member of the Board of Directors publish a statement like this would be considered a calamity. It is tantamount to having him announce that you are a fraud. It would quickly cause the collapse of any ordinary start-up company.
