But it was Tesla who died in poverty, I remember. And it's his spectre 
that's attracting the "Tesla coil" conspiracy theories. Not to mention the 
horrendous amount of baseless claims around his inventions and discoveries. 
Edison, or Edison's "fans," seem to have been much less controversial and 
much more upright. Much more productive, too. Tesla worked for both Thomas 
Edison and George Westinghouse. Why did _he_ die a pauper?
