    Gentlemen, Darden et.al. accepted Penon as ERV (no matter when) and honest, if you are member of a jury, would you consider it plausible if exactly the expert whose expertise is responsible for paying US$ 10,000,000, would not be accepted later?

    17 VIDEOTAPED DEPOSITION OF JOHN THOMAS VAUGHN

    (Corporate Representative of Industrial Heat, LLC)

    18

    19

    20 Taken on behalf of the Plaintiff before

    21 Elizabeth Cordoba, RMR, CRR, FPR, Notary Public in

    22 and for the State of Florida at Large, pursuant to

    23 Plaintiff's Notice of Taking Deposition in the above

    24 cause.



    20 Q. Okay. So you would agree with me that, as far

    21 as you know, Industrial Heat never approved and never said

    22 specifically, We agree that Penon is the ERV?

    23 A. I am unaware of communication where we

    24 specifically agreed with Penon being the ERV, but there

    25 may be such communication out there. I can't recall all

    3 for Identification.)

    4 BY MR. CHAIKEN:

    5 Q. Let me show you what has been marked as

    6 Exhibit 17. Exhibit 17 has been Bates stamped IH99334

    7 through 99336. On the first page of this exhibit is a

    8 couple of e-mails. The first one is from JT Vaughn to CJ

    9 Case and Christopher Lomax. Those are attorneys for Jones

    10 Day; is that correct?

    11 A. That is correct. That is in May 2016.

    12 Q. Right. The e-mail on the bottom of the page is

    13 from Tom Darden, dated April 24, 2013 to Andrea Rossi and

    14 it cc's yourself and John Mazzarino. Do you see that?

    15 A. I see it.

    16 Q. And it talks about test process?

    17 A. Mm-hmm.

    18 Q. And on the second paragraph Tom Darden writes

    19 to Andrea Rossi and he says: "Here are my thoughts.

    20 First, as we indicated, we can accept Fabio Penon as the

    21 ERV instead of BV." Do you see that?

    22 A. I see that.

    23 Q. Were you aware -- have you seen this e-mail

    24 before?

    25 A. Clearly, I have seen it before. I haven't

    1 scene it recently.

    2 Q. Does this change your mind as to whether or not

    3 a writing exists showing that Industrial Heat approved

    4 Fabio Penon as the ERV?

    5 A. That is what Tom is doing in this e-mail.

    6 Q. Right so you would agree with me then that the

    7 parties agreed that Fabio Penon was going to be the ERV,

    8 right?

    9 A. Based on this e-mail, which is from Tom to

    10 Andrea, it appears that he accepts Fabio Penon as the ERV

    11 instead of BV.

    PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT

    Statement of Undisputed Material Facts


    51. Rossi himself on most days spent over 16 hours per day for over the course of the 350+

    day test in an extremely hot and uncomfortable working environment, performing the GPT. See Ex. 1

    ¶ 22-23.

    We are probably never going to know the truth about the heat exchanger, how it worked technically, how it was constructed, what dimensions it had and whether it existed at all. The problem with the debate here is simply that this is not to be surpassed by irrelevance, whether it has given this heat exchanger or not, say purely nothing about the functionality of the E-Cat plant in Doral, because everything that happened there is in retrospect a part of a maneuver by Rossi et.al. to win a litigation and to get the E-Cat IP back under its own control.


    For Rossi, it was only important to carry out this 400-day test and to have any data that are accepted Darden et.al. in any way, whether or not they are true. That is exactly what Rossi has done, IH accepted the 3 interim reports of Penon, invoiced J.M. Products services for power generation, issued monthly invoices and took money and even brought own investors to the test facility, a higher acceptance in a (supposed) functionality can not be derived.


    The assertion of IH that the plant has never worked and is a fraud would be quite legitimate, but only if they had not worked with Doral as a marketing tool and source of income, but would have completely rejected the test right from the start, because they claim today they already knew before 2016 that all is a big fraud and nothing works!


    The discussion here is therefore futile, because Doral says purely nothing at all about the functionality of the E-Cat, but only something about how better not deal with contract partners.

    Either way, whether you see IH's (possibly intentional) unwillingness to pay the 89 million US dollars as a serious breach of contract and thus as a supposed fraud, or whether you see Rossis preempting a customer a fraud, no longer plays any role, both parties have accepted a judicial settlement and will no longer claim any legal rights and will no longer accuse each other before a court and therefore it is highly unlikely that any prosecutor will re-open this case, if there are no additional criminal offenses from the state, which I do not see.
