The IH statement of material facts (backed by source documents and sworn evidence) gives you a good sense of their side of the story.
In the link above:
"86. Rossi, on behalf of Leonardo, refused to grant Joseph Murray (“Murray”), an Industrial Heat employee, access to the Doral Facility in July 2015. Johnson, on behalf of J.M. Products, complied with and enforced this refusal."
Darden in Sep 27, 2015 interview:
"Q: So you licensed the technology of Andrea Rossi, an Italian scientist and entrepreneur who’s been having some success with cold fusion.
A: That’s right. Rossi's was one of the first investments we made. We’ve been seeing the creation of isotopes and energy releases at relatively low temperatures—1,000 degrees centigrade, which could be a sign that fusion has occurred. We have sponsored tests and more research for Rossi’s work. A group of Swedish scientists tested the technology, and they got good results. A number of other people say they are also getting positive results but these haven’t been confirmed. A Russian scientist, for example claims to have replicated Rossi’s work in Switzerland and got excess heat. That’s a good sign.
Q: So you’re optimistic?
A: Yes, In fact, Rossi was awarded an important U.S. patent recently, which is part of what we licensed, covering the use of nickel, platinum or palladium powders, as well as other components, in his heat-producing device. This is one of very few LENR-related patents to date."

My side of this story: I had no trust in Rossi or his tech before that Darden interview. I had only done some cursory following of LENR. But because of that interview I've invested something like 50 hours of my precious free time reading posts and articles posted at E-Cat World and LENR Forum. In the course of that activity there has been an immense exposure to greed, hatred and delusion. And I'm a Buddhist!
I hold Mr. Darden and his Sep 27 2015 "optimistic" statements, IMO clearly misleading at that time, responsible for my suffering.
50 hours x 40 USD/h precious free time = 2000 USD
compensation for psychological trauma = 3000 USD
Where should I send my 5000 USD bill?
