Some recent comments by Jed hints on the second choice or both. When I put forward the hypothesis that IH is hedging their Rossi bet with hiding investor money offshore, Jed was quick to answer …
Whoever told you that is lying. I.H. is funding research.
This statement could very well be true, but from previous rumors comes that Dewey Weaver’s sales pitch when recruiting LENR R&D talent goes something like paying peanut cash (k’s not M’s) for their IP but sprinkled with lots of worthless IH toilet paper stock.
In this hypothesis Jed’s actions makes a lot of sense. He might both be paid directly as a FUD consultant and protecting the value of IH for the LENR community (ie. HIS long term friends).
IH strategy is really somewhat clever since by tricking a lot of R&D people to sell their stuff for nothing they are buying their loyalty. And Jed’s.
The question is valid and deserves to be asked.
If Rossi is to be taken to task for his behavior (no matter which side one takes), so is IH. Their actions deserve to be dissected and challenged and when it becomes apparent that their story doesn’t add up this needs airing and critical analysis.
