The state of Texas has filed a lawsuit against Eyal Siman-Tov, aka "Ozzie Freedom" for deceptively bilking more than 3,000 Texas consumers to the tune of over 300,000 dollars. The actual legal filing can be viewed here:

Evidently, Eyal made claims that consumers could expect to double, or even triple their gas mileage by installing his "Water4Gas" system. He also claimed that purchasers could claim a Federal tax credit. These claims definitely are false, so Eyal doesn't have a way out of this lawsuit. Eyal has made millions of dollars selling his books and kits, and may now end up penniless after being forced to pay damages, as other states will surely follow Texas with their own suits.
Eyal, or "Ozzie," or whatever you want to call him, certainly deserves to be taken down for his deceptive business practices. What's unfortunate, though, is that this suit, and the ones that follow, will cast a cloud over the entire Hydroxy movement. This is because the court documents also charge that no scientific proof can be shown that Eyal's claims of significantly improved gas mileage, increased performance, and cleaner exhaust can be attributed to the small amount of Hydrogen gas produced. So if those charges are upheld in court, the case will lay the groundwork for lawsuits against legitimate manufacturers and sellers of Hydroxy boosters, kits, or plans. What's more, states may follow up with a ban on use of Hydroxy boosters because of the possible dangers involved. Eyal's plans call for use of glass Ball Mason jars for the boosters, and of course this is a foolish and unsafe method of construction.
In another recent court case, Dennis Lee weaseled his way out of a predicament because the prosecutor was not properly prepared. You can bet that Lee will be back in court again soon, and that the prosecution's case will be much stronger. It's really a shame that these scam artists are bringing all this negative publicty upon the Hydroxy movement, which has come so far in the past few years, and that the good works of many will be overshadowed by the misdeeds of a few.
