Albert Einstein: Plagiarist of the Century?
by Richard Moody Jr
Einstein plagiarised the work of several notable scientists in his 1905 papers on special relativity and E=mc2, yet the physics community has never bothered to set the record straight.

Information about the "De Pretto-Einstein Case", Prof. Umberto Bartocci, 2005:

Here it the "diagram" of a rather curious coincidence:
Olinto De Pretto <--> Augusto De Pretto brothers
Augusto De Pretto <--> Beniamino Besso co-workers and friends
Beniamino Besso <--> Michele Angelo Besso uncle and nephew
Michele Angelo Besso <--> Albert Einstein co-workers and friends.
It is very likely that Augusto De Pretto, another of Olinto's brothers, gave a copy of Olinto's article to his friend and co-worker, Beniamino Besso, who lived in Rome. Beniamino Besso sent it to his very dear nephew, Michele Angelo Besso, (Michele Angelo was guest at his uncle's house when an university student in Rome) who was a patent examiner in that same Swiss Patent Office in which Einstein at that time was working too. Michele Angelo Besso in my opinion could have given it to Einstein, who was, more than Besso's co-worker, Besso's close friend. Laurent Mousson, the head librarian at the Swiss Patent Office, has written about De Pretto's work that "we do not currently have this volume on our shelves". Nevertheless, he cautioned that the volume may have been available in 1905 and that it was later discarded. Anyway, there is no need that the whole volume in which De Pretto's essay was published should have been in the shelves of the Swiss Patent Office: it would have been enough for Besso to have a reprint of that paper, which surely Olinto's brother was happy to make circulate between friends. Interestingly enough, in his great article exposing the theory of relativity, written in 1905, Einstein acknowledged the help of only one person, that is to say Michele Angelo Besso.

Cui Bono?
Einstein was a founding member of Hebrew University. Hebrew University has exclusive rights to his name, likeness, personal, and scientific writings. Einstein willed all his intellectual property to Hebrew University.
