I have kinda joked on whether The Customer (TC) took delivery on the MCat; but, it really is a good question. TC stipulated that AR would have to replace the leaky gaskets as a condition of sale. Has this been addressed on JoNP or elsewhere yet?
Now, if TC was real, he would about now be inquiring on when he could pick up the MCat assuming he has not. Has Rossi replaced the gaskets yet? Can we send a truck to pick up the MCat? Did AR really get a check or is TC awaiting new gaskets before picking up the unit? Or, did TC say, "Well, Andrea, we will take one of the modular units with us and you call my cell phone when you have all the gaskets replaced and can insure there are not leaks." Well, if TC did manage to scurry away with a single module from the MCat and cart it off to say, China, did he leave any security with AR? I mean did he escrow the cash as was suggested for future customers? And was there a deadline on when the MCat gaskets were to be replaced before AR could draw down the escrow account? Honestly, I have not been on the JoNP lately and do not know if AR is still patting himself on the back. Did he get his cash? Did he deliver? Or did someone scam Rossi and cart off a single MCat module? Do you really believe that there was a self-destruct mechanism to prevent TC from dissecting the module and gaining the secret with no payment? Did anyone check to see if the container is still in Rossi's factory. I remember a story of how the Chinese literally dissected the Intel 8080 microprocessor a sliver at a time to eventually replicate the microprocessor. A few months later we saw working chips shipping from our Asian competitors. Is it any wonder why Boeing will allow manufacturing of all parts of their airplanes in other countries except the wings? After all, it's the wing IP which makes the planes really reliable. Ask those who made the Comet. T
