Theodore Alvin Hall (1925-1999) was a teenager hired to work on the Manhattan Project, who passed top-secret details about the "Fat man" plutonium bomb to the Soviet Union.

Hall was a physics prodigy who graduated Harvard at age 18, where he had become a good friend of another communist sympathizer. On a vacation back in New York, he visited the Soviet consulate and initiated contact to pass atomic secrets.

Hall was never charged with his crime, creating a mystery that continues to this day. The official explanation for the decision not to prosecute him has been released.[1]

Hall switched to biology after the Manhattan Project and eventually settled in England.
