Probably because Rossi is paying them, or is giving them a piece of the action. Levi and Stremmenos were listed as personnel of Rossi's company by Sterling Allan.
This will be my standard post to moonboy that says youre not worth trying to have reasonable discussion, also says buzz off & doesnt leave crickets. But if it offends you to the point that you get it removed like my prior innocuous citation then I’ll have to come up with some other ‘ignore button’ post.

***Heres where you distort an otherwise very sharp argument. Rothwell doesnt say he doesnt really know, he just doesnt have a link.No, you're wrong. Rothwell says, "It could be an exaggeration."
He does say he doesn't really know.
Go back to twirling your ball bearings and looking for whoever stole your strawberries, with your geometric logic.
So, this Bob Gentile, whom doesnt appear to be related in any way to Andrea Rossi, can tell me about this fictitious corporation you came up with?I really, really hate to do this, but it looks like muawiyah is right about this.
Back in 2004, LTI-Global was stating on their website that they had business presence in all of the states being discussed: Ohio, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. LINK
So, unless this specific detail of the scam had been waiting for almost eight years to trick us, Rossi's LTI really was LTI-Global.
LTI-Global is a "real" company, with a long track record and well-known management (including a former Assistant Secretary of Energy). This certainly adds to Rossi's credibility.
Does it make up for all the other questionable details of Rossi and his E-Cat. I don't think so, but this does make it less clear.
That's referenced in the "Contact Us" board.
http://www.lti-global.com/ certainly looks like a real company, how is it related to Rossi?
If Ampenergo is located in a fifth floor apartment, doesn’t that seem odd for a real company?
Leonardo Corporation ~ is on the fifth floor somewhere. Frank Pastirchak is the ONLY guy to look that company up (who is otherwise a member of the organization that searches for company information). He can be found co-located with numerous others at http://www.corporationwiki.com/New-York/Hawthorne/frank-pastirchak/30383534.aspx So, who is Frank and why is he interested in Leonardo Corp?
Other than codetoad that posted the info on this FR thread at post #54.
Report on Rossi starting Leonardo in 1997
From above website:Leonardo Corp. and Rossi as president of the corporation.
Whackjob Sterling Allen's Leonardo Corp website that Rossi wanted taken down: Leonardo site Rossi wanted removed
Now, let's ask a simple question:
If this is Rossi's Leonardo corp:http://www.lti-global.com, Why is there never any link to it? I would think it would add credibility to Rossi since lti-global has been around for a while.
Is this yet another case where Rossi names his company after an existing real company?
What do you know, Sterling Allen links to this company for Leonardo:http://leonardocorp1996.com/ from his site at: http://pesn.com/2011/05/17/9501827_Ampenergo_Amps_Up_Rossis_Energy_Catalyzer_in_America/
This raises more questions than it answers.
What I don't get is this guy, Bob Gentile is supposedly investing in ampenrgo?
Don't tell me you pay for that stuff?
You sure that's a legitimate story and site?
There is a legitimate company called "Leonardo Technologies Inc." (aka "LTI-Global"), that has been around over a decade, and has Robert Gentile, a former Associate Secretary of Energy under Bush I. Their old website (circa 2004) listed both New Hampshire and Pennsylvania as business locations, in addition to their primary address in Ohio.
So, when Rossi shows up on the Army report as "Leonardo Technologies Inc.", in Pennsylvania, I'm assuming it's the same one. (This was the point I wasn't able to connect prior to now.)
It has been claimed that Rossi founded this company, and later sold it to fund his E-Cat development. I have no facts to support or contradict this.
Rossi's current company is "Leonardo Corporation", based in New Hampshire and with a registered location in an apartment building in Florida. This company has supposedly been selling bio-diesel generators, but I haven't been able to find any evidence that anyone has actually ever bought one.
AmpEnergo is a new company, set up to distribute E-Cats in the Americas. The founders include Karl Norwood and Robert Gentile.
Karl Norwood owns the building that houses the shared office of his Real Estate company, Rossi's new company ("Leonardo Corporation") and AmpEnergo.
So, it appears that Rossi was involved with the Ohio "LTI-Global" when he did his thermoelectric project. That would indicate a connection to Robert Gentile at that time.
The current connection is Robert Gentile (and one other person) from LTI-Global being listed as founding members of AmpEnergo.
This shows that a presumably respectable businessman and former government official (Gentile) has a long-term relationship with Rossi.
Whether this "legitimizes" Rossi is open to debate.
John has a long mustache.
That's not terribly unusual ~ there are these companies called "body-shops" who provide you with temporary executive level personnel with special training, knowledge or experience.
I've worked with such people in the past ~ sometimes I've been the COTR, or project manager, or just a staffer.
To me the unusual relationship here is that of Rossi and his Green Card issued to him by Jimmy Carter, and the ability of some of the LTI affiliated personnel to move in and out of DOE!
There are legal limitations involved so that you don't have a guy go to a government agency, double deal a contract to his old company, and then go back and reap the benefits as a manger in charge of spending that money. These guys seem to not be bothered by those limits.
With that sort of thing going on around him it just seems wrong to try to ID Rossi as the king-pin.
To me the unusual relationship here is that of Rossi and his Green Card issued to him by Jimmy CarterDo you have a credible source for this statement?
There are others in the cluster around Gentile who seem to move in and out of LTI, Parsons and DOE over time.Understood. My only point with the AmpEnergo/Norwood/Gentile is how they all seem to be the same group, and not the independent companies that the press releases would have us believe. I've read many comments on how the "fact" that AmpEnergo would do a deal with Rossi "proves" that Rossi is legitimate, when in fact it really doesn't.
Just for completeness, Robert Gentile apparently wasn't a very good Associate Secretary of Energy, since he was fired after 18 months. LINK
With that sort of thing going on around him it just seems wrong to try to ID Rossi as the king-pin.OK, perhaps he's the frontman for a group. It's also possible that he is legit and really does have the breakthrough of the century. But his behavior seems much more consistent with those of a con man.
The annual report is right there. The following that link. Go ahead and click on the annual report. Hell, click on Rossi's handwritten application for Articles of Incorporation.

This guy: Bob Gentile. What is his deal? The pitifully thin Ampenergo website's DNS entry was done by a proxy. There's nothing wrong with that but this whole thing gets weirder and weirder and before someone says it, no, it being real doesn't help any of this make sense.
Interesting link about the TE devices.
Don't click on the dodfuelcell link unless you want to get noticed.
This long thread says Rossi sold LTI in the '90s. It's a good read that neither seems to endorse or debunk Rossi's E-Cat.
