What *is* likely is that Defkalion believed that they were going to receive a working core module from Rossi in June 2011. It is also likely that they prepared equipment and labs based on what they thought this core would be like according to specifications given to them by Rossi. I think that the only thing they ever built was a simulation of their anticipated final product. And the core was and still is missing. Either that or they are simply lying about a large and expensive laboratory of their own and a large staff of genuine experts. After all who has seen or talked to this large group of people? I don't know how you know or think you know how much Defkalion spent and what they built but be that as it may, it is an agreed on fact that they did not get a core from Rossi. When they didn't get the working core from Rossi, perhaps they decided to try to develop it because they believed Rossi had the technology, the technology was possible and they could develop it anew. That is essentially what they claim (on their web site forum) happened. My guess is that they have been unable to get anything to work and that this is the reason they have never shown a test in public or given a unit to anyone or any government agency to test.

Believing that they have what they say, are actively marketing it, but won't let anyone test it independently -- that's pretty crazy. And to think Rossi sold 1300 modules to some mystery client for an unspecified and unguessable purpose defies the imagination.
