Poe had a great interest in codes and ciphers and invited readers to send him cryptograms, which he solved with considerable skill. His interest led to a remarkable outcome through William Friedman, who became America's greatest cryptologist.
Friedman first became interested in codes when he read Poe's short story, The Gold Bug, in which ciphers play a part. Friedman later deciphered Japan's Purple Code, an immense windfall for American intelligence during World War II.
Friedman's son, John Friedman, is a longtime friend of Thatchmo & his family.

Poe was a pedophile and a laudanum addict.
