I agree that it would be impossible to fool a customer long with a non-working megawatt plant. On the other hand, I'm not sure a corporation or an investor group would necessarily do due diligence. Where was the due diligence with Steorn's 21 million Euro initial investment? It wouldn't have been any more difficult to have done it there than it would be to do it with Rossi, probably easier. I could name other easily detected scams that earned huge amounts of money before being discovered. But the main problem I see in Rossi's story for the moment is that there is, so far, no way to tell if Rossi even has a customer. In my view, that's the key question *du jour*. The only reason some people think he does is that he and that engineer with the name I always forget and please don't bother to remind me, both said so.
