"Tesla was robbed!"

In the fourth season of House (or whatever season it is we're in right now), when House has his applicants in the large lecture-hall type room, there are several scenes in which we see that someone has written "Tesla was robbed!" on the blackboard.

My question to you is:

1. Who do you think wrote it?
2. What does it mean?

My google search revealed little snippets that suggest it is a nerdy inside joke.

A site called The Miniatures Page has a discussion. Apparently Nikola Tesla was a great scientist (I knew "Tesla coil.") and many of his idea were stolen and he was taken advantage of.

Wikipedia page on tesla.

...Huh. That answers my question, and it kills my thread.

the following link has the best explanation i've found on the "Telsa was robbed" sign, basically Telsa was screwed over in life.
