I assume you refer to the SEC Complaint: http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2013/comp22639.pdf I do not think Rossi has done the sort of things described in this complaint. For example, Rohner never showed a working engine to anyone, whereas Rossi has shown his devices to many people. Many of those people, such as E&K, were convinced. If Rossi is conducting a fraud it is the most sophisticated and expensive in the history of "over unity" or perpetual motion machines. Think of what the 1 MW reactor must have cost! He is not telling people "I will show this sometime in the future," he is actually showing it. If that is fake it is much more difficult to pull off than what Rohner did. Also, I do not know anyone who has complained he stole from them onfalse pretenses. I know many investors he has upset, but not because they think the device was fake. I know of several over unity inventors who showed machines that clearly did not produce any energy. They may have intended to defraud people, or they may have been deluded. It is impossible for me to tell. The point is, they never fooled anyone of E&K's caliber. That is much harder to do than people seem to think. The Swiss "Testatika" perpetual motion machine claims went on and on for years. From time to time people claimed they saw it. As far as I know, the commune where it was located ever used it to defraud people. I doubt it would have fooled an electrical engineer. Granted, scientists often fool themselves. I fear Celani may have done that in Korea. McKubre has investigated several systems that appeared to be doing something anomalous but were not. This happens often. Most of the time, the researcher finds out about it. Gene Mallove experienced several such false alarms. On a few occasions he got excited and told people about it. Then he had to retract which was embarrassing. No real harm done, but it was embarrassing. - Jed
