I do not know whether these people have corrupt connections with government. I do not know what that is in reference to. I do not consider Rossi's previous research with thermoelectric chips to be in any way corrupt, or even unusual. That's a value judgement in which Beene and I cannot disagree more.
Corrupt or not, I do know a few things about these people, and one is that they are not stupid. They are not gullible. I have heard they did test the machines carefully. More extensively than Levi or E&K, needless to say. I have also heard they paid Rossi a lot of money. I do not know how much, and it is none of my business, but it is millions of dollars. He deserves every penny. So, if you are looking for more of what might be called legalistic, or circumstantial non-experimental proof that Rossi is no scammer, this is it. I myself prefer quantitative experimental evidence. You can be sure that people like this do not hand over millions of dollars without careful testing. Rossi's claims are not nebulous. They are not theory-based like Mills'. He says he inputs ~100 W and output ~10,000 W continuing for weeks. That isn't hard to verify. You can be darn sure these people did verify it. - Jed
