WSMV Channel 4 I-Team
The Tilley probe was headed by WSMV
"I-Team" investigator Nancy
Amons, and will be available both in streaming media
format as well as transcript on the www.wsmv.com
website shortly after each story runs. (Click on
"I-Team" button.) |
NASHVILLE, TN
Channel 4 of Nashville will be running an exposé Carl Tilley's two
most recent scam operations. The two-part series by the
"I-Team" of WSMV will be aired Thursday and
Friday, Feb. 13,14 at 10:00 pm Central time. [Feb. 20,21
6:00 pm] The television station will be running promotional
trailers for the coverage beginning tonight.
Tilley's foundation could go down as one of the larger scam
operations ever to hit Tennessee.
The NBC affiliate will report the results of their investigation
into Tilley's claim to have a technology that will produce
continuous electrical output with no input, which has garnered a
collection of stockholders anxious to cash in on the many billions
of dollars that Tilley purports the technology is worth.
The technology appears to have been stolen from Robert Kibbey,
and its capacity has been grossly exaggerated by Tilley. Bogus
claims have been made by Tilley about performance, and potential
buyers, the most notorious of which was Tilley's claim in the first
foundation stockholders meeting that a vice president of GE had
offered 2 billion dollars "sight unseen" for the
technology. Channel 4 verified with GE that no such offer was
ever extended by any of their officers, and that they never had
heard of Tilley.
Originally, the documentary was going to only run one night, but
after returning from their trip to Kemmerer, Wyoming, on Monday, the
television station realized that they needed two evenings to
adequately cover the back-to-back scam of Tilley skipping town in
Wyoming to setting up shop in Tennessee.
Whistleblower Walter Webb, former member of the board of
directors of the Tilley Foundation, and who was responsible for
bringing in $401,000 of stock into the company, was the main
instigator for providing WSMV with documentation for the
story. Robert Kibbey, former Tilley associate, whose name
appears together with Tilley's on several legal documents pertaining
to the technology that Tilley claims as his own origin and
ownership, also provided documentation.
Video footage of Tilley in action will be included in the airing
as well.
This is a definite "must see" for as study of the
profile in the making of a free energy con job. And thanks to
the electronic age, this story may be viewed by anyone after it is
loaded onto the site.
Follow-up coverage will continue to be posted at

Sterling,
Thanks for the publicity. I'd be cautious about something, though. We aren't calling
Tilley's invention a "scam.". That's the opinion of others we interviewed for
our story. Please remember that our goal is to provide accurate, balanced coverage. Mr
Tilley will be given every opportunity to demonstrate to our viewer's satisfaction that
his inventions do what he says they will do.
Thanks -
Nancy |
