Well Rossi would certainly be familiar with being found guilty of fraud given his criminal record.
Looking at his history it looks horribly like this is the
latest in his collection of scams.

He claimed to have invented a process to convert organic waste into oil for which, in 1978, he founded a company named Petroldragon. In the early 1990s the company was disbanded and Rossi jailed following accusations of dumping environmental toxins, as well as tax fraud.

In the US Rossi started the consulting firm Leonardo Technologies, Inc. (LTI). He secured a defense contract to evaluate the potential of generating electricity from waste heat by using thermoelectric generators. Such devices are normally only used for heating or cooling (Peltier effect), because the efficiency for generating electrical power is only a few percent. Rossi suggested that his devices could attain 20% efficiency. Larger modules would be manufactured in Italy.
Rossi sent 27 thermoelectric devices for evaluation to the Engineer Research and Development Center; 19 of these did not produce any electricity at all. The remaining units produced less than 1 watt each, instead of the expected 800–1000 watt.

I don't demand he's vacant, merely that he doesn't get to handle either the reactant or the products, and that a full analysis is done on both with complete breakdown of components and isotopes.
The one time that a complete breakdown of products was done Rossi claimed later that he'd informed the scientist in question that it had been contaminated. Said scientist made no reference to this contamination at any point and couldn't argue the point as he was dead. Worse still the part that the results questioned was exactly the part missing from the most recent experiment - copper quantity and isotope ratio.
This shouldn't be a problem, should it? Indeed proper, peer-reviewed experimental evidence may greatly assist his attempts to patent the technology.
This guy seems like a serial scammer, the E-Cat his latest scam. Really bad news for all those genuinely pursuing LENR as a technology.
