Thanks, Akira ... More drama indeed! Move over, James Bond there is new poker-faced gambler in town.
This is looking almost like financial suicide on Rossi's part (assuming DGT is not bluffing). AR has made all the wrong strategic moves and with mind-boggling naiveté. In contrast, the low key and well-worded response from DGT is superbly crafted from a legal standpoint, whereas everything coming from the Rossi camp is self-inflicted damage. Could Stemmenos end up being a double-agent or "plant" from Defkalion, whose main function has been to cleverly and completely eliminate any chance of Rossi obtaining damages for breach of contract? If so, Stemmenos has performed admirably. It is easily possible that DGT may NOT have had money problems after all, but nevertheless desperately wanted to wiggle their way out of an expensive 100 million Euro contract and when Rossi could not meet a milestone, they say an opening. Apparently DGT also discovered an alternative technology to E-Cat - and they accomplished this in a most impressive fashion by tricking Rossi into believing that he still had the upper hand, since he had never disclosed the secret ... which may not have been so valuable, after all. Apparently DGT discovered either the secret catalyst itself, or more likely a substitute, and on their own initiative; and Rossi refuses to understand this. Rossi has been played. He apparently even wants to hire away the scientist who found the alternative process. Pity. IMO - the past several months may have cost Rossi most of the value of whatever he had to begin with, in terms of value of IP - even if we discount the ludicrous and unenforceable patent. He has been set-up in such an artistic fashion by his opponents that he is still in the dark just as Act 111 is nearly complete ... and miraculously does not realize that he (EFA, Leonardo, Ampenergo, etc) and NOT his former associates violated the terms of the agreement - and therefore cannot collect either Royalties or the huge lump sum payment, while at the same time allowing DGT to compete worldwide (instead of just that valuable Balkan market :) ... and now we learn DGT may compete with what is claimed to be a superior product. Plus, DGT can now redirect that 100 million Euro into a factory and distribution network of their own. They have seem to have pulled off a real-life Casino Royale. Of course, this conclusion is valid only if DGT has indeed duplicated the technology successfully. Given the circumstances, it seems at least arguable that they have done this, and that Stemmenos may have been their ace-in-the-hole, so to speak. -----Original Message----- From: Akira Shirakawa A translation has been posted today on 22passi instead: http://22passi.blogspot.com/2011/10/stremmenos-stance-on-defkalion-gts-10.html Cheers, S.A.
