50、n of hiscompany website, which claimed that his technology used“ electromagne， ticwhscicahlar waves”scientists say don t even exist.The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned people against doing business with him, but the Australian inventor claims the ACCC is only trying
