There is NO, I repeat NO evidence of collusion on the part of any of these researchers, none. Levi didn't even know Rossi until he was called in to participate in the first tests last year.
Jed Rothwell has an interesting comment on Vortex.

[Vo]:Ny Teknik report of Rossi Hot Cat tests

In Swedish, but Google translate does an amazing job translating it:

(I wish Google worked this well for Japanese.)
Two pathological skeptics weigh in with evasions and weasel words:
“Goran Eriksson, professor of applied nuclear physics at Uppsala
University, who commented critically on earlier reports about the E-cat,
finds that the latest report makes no mention of fusion or nuclear physics
and thereby not affecting his area of expertise.”
I think this means “outside his area of expertise” which is a ridiculous
evasion. He does not understand the concept of energy density?
“New technology has also contacted another former critic, Peter Ekström,
lecturer in Nuclear Physics at Lund University, who believes that the
report contains several weaknesses but asks to come back with comments.”
Give us a break, prof. Wanna bet he never comes back with comment?
Here is Mats Lewan’s earlier report, on his own website:
