I did a little research on this investor and so on.
From what I see:
This "Bryon New Energy Group" has been formed by a man called "Sol
Millin". This guy once (or still?) advertised a car running on water,
using a "cosmic water cell"... See here:

This Bryon New Energy Group itself seems to have a record of "highly
speculative investments", to say this in a politically correct way.
So, coming back to your mail: Yes, the Rossi talk was announced. But by
whom? Rossi himself? Or just by this Sol Millin and his strange "Bryon
New Energy Group"? And your speculation that he dropped out because he
might have gotten information about this "Bryce and Smith" guy
attending... Really? a) Rossi showed his device to some much more clever
guys than this Bryce person (all those well known professors, and they
have seen this thing hands on). So why should he have been afraid of
this one person? b) Perhaps Rossi just found out later about this Sol
Millin guy and his very strange "Investment Group". Could also have
happened.
What I am saying: I don't know. But you don't know either :) There are
still perfectly valid interpretations for both sides of the coin.

Shaun,
Bryce may be well respected but he is doing a very poor job regarding
his research on the technology (and LENR in general).
Regarding his calculation: This is also no prove of Rossi conducting a
scam but just leaves the possibility that there could still be something
else going on.
And as to Rossi not attending this Skype meeting: If it is true that he
should attend there (who knows except for Rossi and the organizer of the
meeting? Was there an official statement from Rossi / Leonardo etc. that
Rossi will attend? Perhaps the meeting organizer intended to create his
own scam?), then his excuse with the bad timing is another strange (and
negative) point in his already erratic behavior. But again: This is also
no prove! So do not jump to conclusions too fast...

Dick Smith sent Ian Bryce there to talk to Rossi because the Rossi
Skype video link was announced to be happening. That Rossi was to be
there via a Skype link was stated in the first newspaper account.
I expected the attendees would be potential home E-Cat buyers. When I
found out the attendees were there as investors for the Rossi
Australian licensee, it all became very clear what was going on.
Seems the penny dropped about what was happening with Bryce and Smith
as well.
