Some great sleuthing by E-Cat World reader ‘Mr. Moho’ has turned up more information about the Cherokee Investment Partnership involvement with the E-Cat. An article on a Chinese site called Icebank.cn, (apparently a refrigeration company) provides more information about Cherokee Investment Partners CEO Thomas Darden’s recent visit to China in connection with his involvement with the newly formed company Industrial Heat LLC.
It must be noted that the information gleaned has come from a Google translation of the article, and so some of the quotes and details may be a little confusing, but I think the general gist of the story is quite clear.
The meeting was apparently held for Cherokee CEO (and Industrial Heat Chairman) Tom Darden to report to Chinese officials and business personnel about the E-Cat. The article says that he met with “the president of the National Academy of planning a low-carbon energy” — who would have to be a government official. From the article it appears that Mr. Darden reported on test results:

The article promised test results, but they never actually put forth any test results. Thus, I remain skeptical.
Funny how most companies using Indian names are not run by Indian partners, something I noticed when investigating casinos years ago. They are almost always owned and operated by white men (and their silent partners) that give the impression that they are wholly owned by the local tribes.
Understandable position. This development, however, would suggest that Cherokee has seen enough to put their money and reputation on the line to go out and pitch the technology.
.... aaand the Brooklyn Bridge is included.
The Cherokee name was taken on from 100 year old North Carolina brick company Darden bought up in one of his first acquisitions
I thought the E-cat was supposed to be powering a Greek company as of last Oct. What happened to that?
The relationship between Rossi and the Greeks (Defkalion) fell apart in the summer of 2011.
Cherokee Industrial Partners, a private equity firm in Raleigh, NC appear to be the financial backers of Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat (LENR/Cold Fusion), and are pitching its scam in China.
Wasn't Rossi jailed for protecting the environment in Europe?
Yep. Not hard to see where this is going ....
