| - | Since in 1957 Bart was not yet born, nothing happened in his career during that year. A number of Hufnagel's biographers believe this to be a very unimportant fact, while others disagree. A controversial biographer Frank Dupeaux had gone as far as to create a series of books that chronicles every year starting 1950 up to Hufnagel's birth in a quest to chronicle the early years of Bart's career. | + | Since in 1957 Bart was not yet born, nothing happened in his career during that year.

| - | Quite a number of readers have argued that years prior to someone being born cannot be considered "a description of their early career", since Hufnagel is never even mentioned in these books, and have demanded their money back. Dupeaux refused and the case was brought to court. Eventually he was jailed for fraud. He has since escaped from prison, and is now publishing books about Hufnagel while living in an undefined authoritarian state. Considered the foremost authority on the life of Bart Hufnagel, he nevertheless has admitted to liking avocados, and also making up most of the facts about Hufnagel's life whom he never even met. | + | Quite a number of readers have argued that years prior to someone being born cannot be considered "a description of their early career", since Hufnagel is never even mentioned in these books, and have demanded their money back.

| + | Early on Bart Hufnagel was known to be extremely secretive about the upcoming products. However, when in a 2002 interview he claimed that reProphet was announced during his keynote speech at a Timewatch event to thousands of people, it became quickly apparent that nobody seems to know anyone who actually attended. The only person who claimed attendance in the past was Ken Stewart, but by that time he was already dead. | ||

| + | This has given rise to rumors that everyone at the secret keynote was killed. During the next more publicized Timewatch event of 2003 most people decided not to go, and those who went were denied access to the keynote speech. | ||
