Jones,
Of course truth is a defense against libel. Why act like this is
kindergarten?
The problem, as you well know, is whether the accusation you made WERE
true. You have no proof of it and it is just malicious speculation
"an ongoing scam" (There's no need of a trial as you KNOW the answer
already)
"Rossi could see that IH/Cherokee etc. were raking in lots of cash...so
he sued to get a bigger share"
As for "Petroldragon," he was cleared of all charges. Doesn't that
count? I read that someone has recently started a similar process here
as the patents have run out.
"so he can gloat in fake support. He needs clinical help." Apart from
being a great scientist (perhaps you can post your achievements) you are
a psychologist too?
Likewise your ad hominem attack about me being a "Rossi lover." I know
that is untrue, or do you claim to know what I'm thinking better than I
do?. Can I now sue you?

Adrian,
Why do I have to keep reminding you that in the USA, truth is a
defense to libel?
Do you simply not understand this, or do you not want to understand it
because you adore Rossi to such a strange and unhealthy degree?
As for "defamation of character" - Rossi has no favorable reputation
to defend, given his past scams, failures, crimes and repeated
dishonesty - even stooping so low as to compose adulating mail to
himself - with fake sender names so he can gloat in fake support. He
needs clinical help.
Plus, defamation requires proof of malice, and I have no malice
whatsoever against Rossi. In fact at one time, both Rothwell and
myself thought he could be a great and misunderstood inventor. We
called AR "the most interesting man in the world" until the level of
dishonesty became overwhelming. Apologies to Dos Equis for sliming
their guy in the process :-)
I would love to see megawatt overunity proved by Rossi or anyone else
and I hope he can show something of value when this litigation is
over. Problem is - Rossi has not been been capable of proving any
claim scientifically. Even so, I am willing to believe that he has
discovered an anomalous effect of Ni-H because so many others in the
field have done so before him at lower levels. But he is not content
to show what others have shown and wants to be seen as special. Sadly,
he is not special and no longer qualifies as interesting.
And please stuff the libel crap back where it came from... it derives
from the naive and unhealthy adulation of a con artist.

Jones,
Probably. Probably this and probably that. Never give any proof,
just libelous speculation

I would add this to what Giovanni has observed.
Rossi probably sued first because not only was his failure to
perform obvious to all insiders at IH, but moreover - he considered
Industrial Heat to be his actual partner in an ongoing scam which
"could have" dragged on for far longer (had they been dishonest).
The problem was - Rossi could see that IH/Cherokee etc. were raking
in lots of cash from investors - far more of the loot than Rossi was
getting, so he sued to get a bigger share -- hoping they would
settle, rather than expose what he thought was a joint windfall, in
which he was not getting his fair cut.
He possibly believed that IH had valuable deep pocket investors in
other projects of dubious merit, and did not want to risk loosing
them when the money seemed to be flowing in strongly from Europe and
China. The "brownfield" businesses of IH and Cherokee etc had itself
been claimed by some to be ripe territory for scam artists, and
Rossi was fully familiar with that niche in Italy due to his prior
scam in brownfields: the Petroldragon affair.

When viewed from the perspective and history of Petroldragon,
Leonardo, brownfields and Rossi's past contacts (at high level in
our DoE - the other Leonardo) which were involved with his TEG scam,
then a "silent partner in crime" scenario makes sense ... especially
to a delusional inventor like Rossi.

proceedings from divorce to business cases.
And it is well known that filing first gives you a psychological
advantage.
So Rossi could have simply anticipated he would be sued so he sued
first.
The fact he filed first is not the proof of anything.

Jed,
It is you who is missing my point. Show me one case where the
fraudster took his victim to court.
That is the last thing a fraudster would want to do, to have
all the facts come out IN COURT.
