Oh, now I remember you. On that IH vs Rossi thread... You were that newbie dipshit who claimed to be a retired lawyer but when I ran a couple of simple legalisms past you, you didn't know the first thing about law. Thanks for the reminder.
What legalisms? Please enlighten all of us. And I notice you didn't answer the questions either.
You should really preview your posts for accuracy before you submit them. The person posing the hypothetical questions was not me. But, as expected and predicted, you manufactured an excuse to avoid answering the question.
Gee, thanks for that detail correction. Maybe you WERE a lawyer.
Oy vey. I unleashed a monster. This thread is a free for all zone...up to a point. So how about we eliminate outright cursing like the F bomb for sure, and anything that ends, with "hole", starts with an "sh", or for that matter, anything the over active, sinister side of your brain, can think of?
Kevmo IMO, has introduced some sorely needed defense to the pro-Rossi side of this discussion. He says some good things, yet it is being lost in KevMo's verbiage.
Corrected for you.
If he could just calm down and stop the ad homs - I'd address his contrafactual interpretation of Rossi's attempt to sue IH. Rossi, about to be given $100M if he could get his e-cats to work, decided to sue IH.
KevMo - judge Rossi by his actions, not his words, and you will gradually be drawn towards the light like a moth to a candle.
Politics will NOT be discussed in this forum. Just a reminder.
Corrected for you.
***Nonsense. It's easy enough to go upthread and see that I refrained from direct insults until the mods allowed insult-for-insult. Until then, it was the idiot skeptopaths pouring on insult after insult with impunity because I thought any of my insults would get swept away while theirs survived, which is what happened last go-round.
If he could just calm down and stop the ad homs -
***I did, but I didn't start them and I wasn't issuing them for a considerable length of time while the skeptobrigade was piling on. Maybe you should send some of your attention in their direction.
I'd address his contrafactual interpretation of Rossi's attempt to sue IH. Rossi, about to be given $100M if he could get his e-cats to work, decided to sue IH.
***Bullsh***, er, I mean nonsense. He had an independent 3rd party report in hand that said the devices work, as per the agreement.
IH needed to settle because the judge would have treated that independent third party report as a... wait for it.... third party report.
The Trial started
Then, after heavy pre-Trial legal expenses, and just before Rossi had to give evidence himself under oath to support his lies,
***Industrial Heat settled just before Rossi was going to --wait for it--go after their partners and show they had received his IP. Not only that, but the judge called him "dr. Rossi" right in front of the jurors and people started showing up ready to testify that it was speculated wouldn't show up.
Rossi stopped his action in return for - wait for it - the (Doral) e-cat IP.
Not the $100M (or was it $300M) he was asking for.
***You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip. IH would go bankrupt before they paid out $300M. And they knew that they couldn't separate Rossi from his IP, that in order to get the boxes to work he would have to go with them... the Fred Flinstone strategy.
But wait - KevMo - that IP. So valuable...
***If Rossi's IP was worthless then he would have gone after the money. And if his IP was worthless then IH wouldn't have asked for it in their original countersuit, even though they weren't willing to PAY for it. If his IP were worthless the independent report would have said so. The whole trial HINGED on his IP, which -- wait for it -- you call worthless.
Umm... No, Rossi has decided to ditch the old-style e-cats and work on a completely different system with nothing in common, which, he declared, is better.
***And had little bearing on the proceedings of the trial at the time, other than to show that Rossi had a backup plan.
But that old IP, so valuable Rossi gave up his chance of $100M
***I doubt IH would have paid, especially in light of the Fred Flinstone strategy. They would simply have gone bankrupt and Rossi woulda got nothing.
after spending all that early money on legal fees,
***Industrial Heat spent a ton on legal fees themselves, and got... a yearlong demo and a 3rd party report saying it worked, which is what their contract stipulated.
surely that has value and could be sold to somone even if Rossi did not want it?
Nope.
***Not necessarily having any weight whatsoever on the legal proceedings, does it? But it doesn't stop you from criticizing him every chance you get.
KevMo - judge Rossi by his actions, not his words,
***Do the same for IH. Realize that Rossi is a tough bird, a bass turd, an Adam Henry , a "mercurial " personality, and that IH basically got tired of dealing with him and tried to separate him from his technology and start dancing with prettier dates. Once they were in the position where the judge was going to treat the 3rd party report as a... uhhh... third party report, their goose was cooked.
and you will gradually be drawn towards the light like a moth to a candle.
***Maybe if you figure out how to stop being triggered by Rossi you can see what has been going on. At the very least, if he's a con man, he ain't a stupid "inept" con man, he's a feisty and wily con man.
To me it seems you never read any of the telling court documents (if so you deny what’s in there, incl.

I can't see from where you get the idea Rossi's stuff works then. Now IH no longer validates he has what he had before - nothing. except Rossi-Says and good write-ups from fans like Mats.
The typical legal approach is to take things on face value. Rossi has 3 independent reports attesting to his technology, a bunch of swedish scientists who black box tested it, a book written about the technological development, thousands of hours of LENR anomalies to parallel his technology, a few highly regarded scientists who attest that there's something there.
On the negative side, Rossi is his own worst enemy and you can't trust what he says.
A am pro-LENR. I have not yet decided if Rossi is forwarding LENR or just an amazing con artist, the best con artist I have ever seen operate. If he really does have a LENR box then I hope he wins this case. If he's a con artist I hope he loses big time. My exposure to the legal system lends me to believe that we will not know further one way or the other (edit: about Rossi's motives) when this trial is over.

MD,
IH has submitted a couple JONP Rossisays into evidence. Forget which exhibit, but they are in there, and they are relevant. Not sure if one of them was Rossi claiming JMP's product (FTR, there was no product)) absorbed 100% of the supplied thermal, but if not in the docket now, it will probably be presented at trial. JONP is a rich source for Rossi contradictions (Rossisays), and no doubt JD has gone over it with a fine tooth comb.
Good. If they have been allowed as evidence then other JONP Rossisays items should be allowed as well. If I were the judge I'd be focusing on the Rossisays "I would refund IH if I got my IP back" and this whole trial could get wrapped up in 20 minutes rather than 5 weeks.

Rossi claimed it on his blog, which we have seen other blog items have already been entered into the record for consideration. So it is time for YOU to cut the crap. Rossi claimed it, so now it's time for him to prove that he did put forth the offer (which, even if it is a lie, would be a legitimate offer that the court could order to be considered). I really wish you would just figure it out. This is the 2nd time through this exercise. And this is no Planet Rossi logic session as you so menacingly put it. It is a way to hold Rossi's feet to the fire.

You mean Rossi couldn't even OFFER to do the demo? I think he could offer, and then the pissed off judge could "instruct" the jury to disregard such remarks. That is sometimes how court cases are won. It is also how you will never have the same lawyers again because those lawyers have to practice law before that same judge again, whereas there is not much chance a defendant will meet up with the same lawyer and pull the same shenanigans.

The skeptics and fans still might not get what they want. There are reasons (potentially, many reasons) why attorneys might not seek to admit relevant evidence.
The biggest reason is that not all relevant evidence is created equal. Legally speaking, relevance is like pregnancy. It's a yes/no question; while even lawyers might use phrases like 'marginally relevant' in casual conversation, there's no such thing as 'a little bit relevant' as far as the Frederal Rules of Evidence are concerned. And it's a low threshold. If the evidence has any tendency to make any material fact more likely, it's relevant.
In other words, just because a fact is relevant doesn't mean it's likely to be persuasive. And the lawyers will be dealing with a need to make sure that the jury (and judge) remain responsive to their witnesses and evidence. Overloading the jury with unnecessary evidence is to be avoided as much as possible.
To the extent that the bloviations are directly relevant to events at issue, they'll probably come in. Beyond that, there's a good chance that some of the bloviating will be used to attempt to establish that Rossi is an unreliable bloviating bloviator with a history of making unsubstantiated claims. But that will likely be done using the minimum amount of bloviation evidence that the attorneys feel will make the point, and the specific examples will be selected more with than in mind than any intent to survey the full range and depth of his bloviations.
Display More
Wouldn't that be a kick if Rossi claimed that he could PROVE his bloviations with a demo to the jury? It would just take a couple of million dollars to set up, blah blah blah, but why bother because the ERV report verifies his bloviating claim... Most of the time I see that Rossi has very little chance of prevailing, but there are some bloviating rabbits he could pull out of his hat.

Regarding your other non-stop creative Planet Rossi inference pattern- do you think that your "Rossi realization" scenario included getting caught claiming that an empty reactor was generating as much excess heat output as a "loaded reactor"?
Dewey: It has been shown upthread that Rossi claimed to offer the IP buyout. It may be a Rossi lie but it IS a claim on his blog, along with other bloviating claims that many of us would like to see addressed. So quit calling it a lie unless you can prove that Rossi did not claim it.
The moderators of this forum preclude me from responding to your "loaded insults" so I would suggest you quit posting them.

I wouldn't hold my breath.
I think Rossi's bloviating blog entries could be admissible as evidence.
Edit:
Shane pointed out upthread that Rossi's blog entries WERE admitted as evidence.
It just takes one witness to say that that's what Rossi said on his blog. Then all of his blog stuff would be admissible. I'm surprised IH's lawyers haven't already angled in that direction.
Display MoreHowever, suppose hypothetically he had showed them something. Of course they would shared it with others! What else would they do with it?
***They would continue to work with him to develop it. But Rossi is a "mercurial" personality (otherwise known as an adam henry) and they didn't want to work with him, so they shopped around for cuter dates. Rossi set up his Fred Flinstone box and forced their hand.
They would have to license it to manufacturers. They cannot manufacture machines themselves. It would have no value unless it is shared. Keeping it secret was never an option. If they could share it with other researchers and make more progress, Rossi would have benefited. So this objection makes no sense.
***Such transfer was not supposed to take place until Rossi got paid his $89Mil. Rossi alleged that there was transfer before the payment , which since he was never paid it makes sense to look at what the folks who were working with IH got. Such things would come out in open court, which IH did not want to defend against, so it was yet another reason to settle. At the time I was the only one on this board saying that settlement was a distinct possibility, and I was loudly panned for it. But lookie look, a settlement was exactly what happened.

Settlement discussions are often not admissible at trial. But let's say Rossi gets in, what then when IH says fine - bring a cashier's check for the $11.5 million. Does Rossi have the cash or will that be another instance of Rossi coming up with an excuse?
It is a side note for purposes of my discussion on this matter. Rossi kept saying "in mercato veritas" but there has been zero mercato so there is zero veritas, by his own words. It would be time to put up or shut up. No expensive trial, just a bunch of financial back & forth with some court reporters and a judge.
.... And given that such a settlement gives IH everything they want originally, I suspect they would have accepted a genuine offer.
That is why I want to see this particular piece of information addressed by the court. It would save the court time and money, it could conceivably wipe the slate clean. Someone is preventing such an obvious outcome that benefits no one and everyone at the same time. It does not make sense.
Remember, if they win on the counter-claim, they will likely be deemed to have rescinded any claims they have to the IP (once they are fully paid). Based on the above, I don't find the alleged settlement offer credible. To plagiarize, "show me the money."
Display More
Whether or not the alleged settlement offer is credible is immaterial. By allowing it into the docket as evidence, the judge can use his authority to make it a credible offer.
As far as the sidenote case that if Rossi doesn't pay, he ends up in trouble with the court, which is nothing new to Rossi. But if he does not pay he would not end up with his IP.
This is a battle over what Industrial Heat calls worthless IP. Rossi wants it and claims he is willing to pay for it (at least on his blog). His claim is admissible in evidence because other claims on JONP have been admissible as evidence.
