But to explain Rossi's motivation, we don't need to show that he got money, only how he intended (or intends) to get it. Not all scams are successful, and this may be one that fails to fulfill Rossi's hopes. He got lucky with Kullander and Essen, but he probably didn't anticipate the level of scrutiny Krivit would put him under. Still, to read the many people on these forums that are ready and willing to give him money, based on the demos done so far, I expect he will be able to convert some of the adoration and hero worship (some even evident on this list) into cash. In any case, it's not implausible.
