The latter, I am sure. AR and I do not give a fart about what Krivit thinks about theory, or anything else. Why would he support a physical theory he finds unconvincing? He would not play strange political mind games just to hurt Krivit. If Rossi succeeds, Krivit will be a laughingstock. He will soon be forgotten, along with Park and the others. Rossi knows that. Everyone knows it. Krivit has doubled down on his bet against Rossi. He has staked his entire future as a reporter and cold fusion pundit on this. That was a dumb thing to do. Even if I were sure that a cold fusion researcher is wrong, and fraudulent, I would never attack him the way Krivit attacks Rossi, McKubre and others he disagree with. I would not do that because: It is not my job to police this field. It is not anyone's job. If you don't like some research, ignore it. If there is a problem, other people will see it as clearly as I do. They do not need my help. There is no point in alienating people and making everyone angry. Bad research fades away on its own, without fighting or politics. Customer fraud is ruled out by the kinds of contracts Rossi asks for. with escrow accounts and open return policy. He could never sell a reactor with any other kind of contract. He knows that as well as I do. We don't need to worry about customer fraud, and as far as I know, Rossi has no investors. Granted, in Italy they put him in prison for defrauding his stockholders in a company in which he himself was the only stockholder. In other words, as far as anyone knows he has only defrauded himself. In most countries that is not a crime. It is rather difficult to imagine how it could be. It does not sound like the beginning of a crime wave. Defrauding oneself would make for a difficult civil suit. Especially if you chose to represent yourself without council. You would have to hop back and forth from one table to the other, and from the witness stand to the lawyer's table, while testifying both for and against yourself. That would be considered a farce anywhere other than Italy. - Jed
