I think it may have even been a paper put out by a regional branch of the Federal Reserve. Can't remember where I read this.

He led it down the false path of anarchism, associated it with white nationalism through the paleo-effort, and possibly wrote Ron Paul's racist newsletters.

Didn't succeed. Elsewhere you can read how he could turn out publication-ready articles with one pass. I saw one or two of those, though they did have some strikeouts.
