PS:

"Later that year the US Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent number 
645,576 in effect recognizing him as the inventor of radio."

"Immediately after Tesla's death became known, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation instructed the Office of Alien Property to take possession 
of his papers and property, despite his US citizenship."

"Tesla had been continuing work on the teleforce weapon, or death ray, 
that he had unsuccessfully marketed to the US War Department. It appears 
that his proposed death ray was related to his research into ball 
lightning and plasma and was composed of a particle beam weapon. The US 
government did not find a prototype of the device in the safe. After the 
FBI was contacted by the War Department, his papers were declared to be 
top secret."

I mean, wow! :)
