No, the $10 million is definitely not in escrow. The documents filed in this lawsuit make it clear that the $10 million was paid out. The additional $89 million was supposed to be paid if the long test was a success. I.H. claims it was not a success. They say they were not able to "substantiate" the results: "Industrial Heat has worked for over three years to substantiate the results claimed by Mr. Rossi from the E-Cat technology – all without success." That is not the same as saying there has been no evidence of heat. I myself think there is some evidence for Rossi's claims, but it is not very good, and it has not been replicated. As I said, the first Levi test was good but flawed. I did not think much of Lugano but other people feel it showed excess heat. That is a reasonable technical judgement on their part. Unfortunately, all of this does not add up to clear-cut proof. I think that is what "substantiate" means in this context. - Jed
