Maybe it was. I read the wiki on him when looking for info, but I was sure the story I remember was of someone being 'rescued' for want of a better word from a life of poverty and academic waste and being brought over, as a child, to the west where he stayed.
Reading through the wiki list of child prodigies just blows my (tiny, pathetic) mind.
