Some even suggested that he was an insider deep within the program who American officials were afraid to ever expose despite catching him.
While three of those operatives (Klaus Fuchs, David Greenglass, and Theodore Hall) were eventually caught, legend has it that Perseus was a fourth agent involved in that operation who spent decades eluding capture. The story goes that Perseus was one of the four operatives involved with a Manhattan Project espionage mission which Russia infamously conducted in the 1940s using insiders working at the facility. The name was also mentioned by people like Lieutenant General Pavel Anatolyevich Sudoplatov (a high ranking Soviet intelligence official) and Colonel Vladimir Chikov who named Perseus in their writings and, in some cases, cited them as a still active and unidentified operative. Most notably, the name Perseus is used to identify a Soviet operative who reportedly participated in an assignment at Los Alamos: the site of the infamous Manhattan Project which eventually resulted in the production of the first nuclear weapons.
