Giovanni,
This "valid customer" detail should come out during deposition.
I suspect the IH Attorney will be relentless with tough questions, and
for once, Rossi will be cautioned not to throw a tantrum and walk out.
(he could do so nevertheless).
The most unfortunate possibility of all - which is seldom mentioned but
actually of relatively high probability, is that Rossi has a system
which gives excess heat, but less than needed to get the big payout.
I would love to see a rock solid 2:1 ratio of output to input but the
data is probably too compromised for even that lower expectation - as
Rossi would be the last to want this.

To cut to the chase ... Rossi's claim for supplying a massive
amount of steam to a customer in an adjoining space (which no one
from IH was allowed to visit) could be instantly validated if
there was indeed a real customer using the steam.
If there was no customer, and the steam was not being used for a
real manufacturing process, then we have fraud - no matter how
much reputed steam was being supplied.
This is the issue of fact to be determined by a jury, or by the
judge if Rossi cannot present a prima facie case that there really
was a real customer using steam to manufacture a product. It's
really pretty simple, no?
Was there a customer using the steam or not?
