Detailed timeline of Rossi and his E-Cat. Even though I've been following this story for months, I learned things while reviewing this list.

One very significant piece of information is THIS email from Julia Betts (forwarded by Robert Clancy), which clears up the confusion about National Instruments' relationship with Rossi:

On 3/2/2102 07:55 AM, Julia Betts wrote:

In November of 2011 the agreement referenced should be clarified as a series of discussions including NI making preliminary suggestions about which NI platforms could potentially be used for the control system. These discussions are the same discussions we would have when initiating with any customer and can include signing confidentiality paperwork or logo placement, but is not a definitive agreement to work together. We are a tools provider so again I want to emphasize these types of discussions are part of standard practice in order to assess if we can meet a customer's needs. Rossi and the Leonardo Corporation are not currently a customer of NI. Our interactions did not go beyond initial discussions and we did not design a control system for them We are not currently, nor have been for some time, in current discussions or working with him.

I hope this clarifies. Thank you.

There we have it. Rossi can't claim this was just a "translation error" or a matter of interpretation. Rossi spent three months lying about this repeatedly and in detail.

Nice job. You no doubt will be flamed by the E-CAT and Rossi lovers and all those who insist that he is not duping them

To repeat what I wrote on another recent thread, The Third Act of this Italian Comic Opera is done. Close the the curtains, rearrange the scenery, the next play is ready.

This whole business with Rossi and his imaginary e-cats, has had the smell of canned scam gone bad from the beginning and now can be discarded for what it is. Done.
