One of those "scientists" was Theodore Hall. At 18 years old, he graduated with a physics degree from Harvard in 1944, and provided the single most detailed source of information on a complete working bomb to Russia. He was "worried about the possibility of the emergence of a fascist government in the United States". His brother Edward Hall was the father of the US ICBM program.
Theodore Hall was never prosecuted, but his security clearance was revoked due to receiving a letter from a relative in the UK asking "I hear you're working on something that goes up with a big bang! Can you send us one of them for Guy Fawkes Day?"
