They are disagreeing with your statement that Stremmenos accused them of criminal activity.
You stated: "What is disturbing about Defkalion is their dispute with Stremmenos. 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." Defkalion does not believe that such an accusation was made: 1) Stemmenos absolutely accuses Defkalion of "scientific and technilogical inaccuracies", but does not explicitly state that any fraud has occurred. 2) He does state that Defkalion does not have access to the "crucial element" and the "fulcrum on which it is based." But, Defkalion agrees in this instance. They state that their current Hyperions do not rely on Rossi's technology, but is their own distinct method. BUT....... Where Stremmenos DOES explicitly accuse them of illegal activity is in the statement: "Defkalion had no right to draw up international agreements outside of Greece and the Balkans. Therefore if it did draw up agreements outside of Greece and the Balkans, it did so illegally and without any authorization." Here, his accusation of criminal activity is contingent upon Defkalion having executing international contracts outside of Greece and the Balkans. Defkalion has not announced where it has sold rights, so, in effect, such a statement may not be libelous. Just a thought (roughly two cents worth)... FWIW, I agree with you 100% that they should address all of Stremmenos' statements. I cannot read the mind of DGT, but the lack of response may be less a matter of misunderstanding you, and more a calculated business-decision. Whether the decision is based on strategy or attorney's recommendation is anybody's guess.
