The Secret Behind History’s Most Profitable Hedge Fund<\/h2>\n

BY KEITH KAPLAN, CEO, TRADESMITH<\/strong><\/p>\n

In September 1995, a philosophy professor read a manifesto in The Washington Post<\/em> and unmasked a killer.<\/p>\n

Her name was Linda Patrik. She was at her desk at Union College in Schenectady, New York, when a colleague handed her a printout of a 35,000-word anti-technology rant the paper had published.<\/p>\n

Despite the longest and most expensive criminal investigation in U.S. history, the FBI had failed to catch its author, the Unabomber, for 18 years.<\/p>\n

Between 1978 and 1995, 16 of his homemade bombs had killed three people and injured two dozen more. In desperation, the Bureau decided to publish his manifesto, hoping someone would know who wrote it.<\/p>\n

Patrik recognized him immediately. The anti-technology stance was identical to the extreme views of her estranged brother-in-law, Ted.<\/p>\n

She called her husband, David Kaczynski, and told him to come to her office to read it himself. He was skeptical at first. Then he noticed the phrase “cool-headed logicians,” which his brother had often used.<\/p>\n

These weren’t the only tells that Ted Kaczynski was the Unabomber. After Patrik tipped off the FBI, its forensic linguists found a cluster of details that pointed back to him.<\/p>\n
