My only comment is that I don't think X's hostility towards Bruno started when he mentioned the question "Goedel?" in class. That, in itself, should not be sufficient to earn the ire of even the most seasoned of psychopaths. Instead, I suspect the relationship soured badly during Bruno's end-of-studies dissertation, probably because Bruno had an inquiring mind, and X just wanted him to focus on his own research interests (not an uncommon occurrance - I had something similar in my PhD, but without the consequences Bruno faced). Nevertheless, that doesn't excuse X's actions, which remain appalling by anyone's standard.
Why so circumspect about the identity of X. With so many mentions it would be easy for anyone to dig up to whom "X" refers, so why not just use his name?
