Keep in mind that Rossi was probably not aware of a very thorough discussion (including photoshop analysis, etc,) about this footage of the BBB, concentrating around the question whether it had ever moved a single millimeter. He just received a very simple question:

/1. Italo R. January 18th, 2012 at 2:02 PM Dear Ing. Rossi, I have watched this interview with you in Bologna realized on the 12th of January 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odkfAjqA4pc In it appears a 1 MW container. May I ask you if that container is the same used in the last test with ing. Fioravanti and already sold to your customer? Thank you. Kind regards, Italo R.

/This just asks: is the container in the video the same container as the October 28 one?/

2. Andrea Rossi January 18th, 2012 at 6:44 PM Dear Italo R. Yes, it is the same: we are still working on it with National Instruments and with the Customer. It will take another month before it will be ready. Warm Regards, A.R.
/
This says two things: (1) yes it is the same. (2) we are working on it with the customer and it will be ready in a month.

Without knowledge of the fact that our heated discussion was about whether it has ever moved, Rossi must have just tried to guess what was the reason of Italo R.'s question. He could have interpreted it like this: "damn, mr Rossi, all we get to see is the same old blue container. When do you show us a red one and a green one to prove you are working on more".

His answer can then be seen as the opposite of lying: actually a rather open and honest answer: we're still working on the blue and improving it.

So it could be that:
(1) the container *was* shipped
(2) the container wasn't returned.
(2) rossi didn't lie at all
(3) the footage in the 12 jan youtube video was older footage, because the ecat.com guys had a marketing/credibility obligation to show a BBB, while in fact during shooting on jan 12 the hall was rather empty (4) rossi just answered Italo's question honestly, but didn't get the point of the question, being whether it ever moved. And he didn't answer whether that same container was still there at that same spot today, because it wasn't part of the question.

Andre,

Question:
Is the container gone?

Answer:
Yes.

Can't be much simpler than that.

English is not my native language, but I think (only) when interpreted
very liberally, "gone" can be interpreted as "sold". (like in: "going...
going... gone").

Wolf,

On 30 Oct 2011, Andrea Rossi said the 1 MW plant had been shipped to
the customer and he was building the next 1 MW plant in a new container.

Dear Andrea,

1. Is the 1MW container gone?
2. Have you started building another 1MW in another container?
3. Any improvements you want in version 2?
4. Will the buyer of the next 1MW container be the same customer or a
different customer?
5. What city will you be working (hiring) in the US?

Best wishes,
Luke Mortensen

AG,

Can you give us a link where he said that? I can't find any except for
some websites (not directly related to Rossi) which say so.
