Now, the way I recall the refund offer story was that a poster on ECW suggested some sort of settlement that might be amicable rather than the increasingly nasty lawsuit progression and may have suggested a money back offer of some sort, that then was reposted to JoNP and subsequently blown all out of proportion, since both Rossi and Dewey were surprised about this and as a result of misunderstandings both said some stuff. The original ECW poster was quite understandably flustered and upset by the way it blew up.
In the Rossi court case thread on this forum, it was acknowledged at the time that the offer WAS posted on the JONP. Even Dewey acknowledged it, he just kept saying it was BS, like he does now.
