Please don't play ignorant. Or don't you know the source of this was an Ampenergo executive in an interview with NyTeknik and he said: *"How much do you pay for the agreement?* Cassarino: Unfortunately that’s confidential. *Have you paid anything to Rossi yet?* Cassarino: Yes we have. *How much?* Cassarino: Let’s put it like this, it was an important piece of the equation." http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3179019.ece<%20%20%20http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3179019.ece> I've probably posted this five times by now in various places. You never saw it? And now, if I read it right, Defkalion claims they paid Rossi a first installment of $15 million though the translation is far from clear. It's in another string on Vortex. 4. Rossi asked an engineer at NASA on July 22, 2011, for $15 million to >> “test” his device.

If he's scamming it will be with a phony cold fusion reactor and phony measurement methods. It's still "if".

Also, it's not terribly important. Rossi's stark failure to deliver working thermoelectric modules to DOD is even more impressive.
