SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (Court TV) — The man who told authorities his brother might be the Unabomber plans to sell the book and movie rights to his story.

David Kaczynski told his local paper, The Daily Gazette of Schenectady, that he needed to sell the rights to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Kaczynski and his wife hired an attorney even before they went to the FBI with their suspicions that his brother was the Unabomber.

According to his attorney, Anthony P. Bisceglie, David Kaczynski also wants to secure more money for the families of the victims.

No deal has been set, but Biscegile says that Kaczynski has been approached by a number of people who want to produce his story.

Kaczynski and his wife, Linda Patrik, planned to use a $1 million reward they received from the FBI earlier this year to pay their legal fees, with the rest going to the families of the Unabomber's victims.

David Kaczynski announcing his intention to sell his brother's story to pay off his legal fees.

But legislation, sponsored by Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan, that would have prevented Kaczynski from paying taxes on the reward fell through in Congress last month, meaning he'll likely have to give a third of the reward to the Internal Revenue Service next year. So far none of the money has been dispersed, according to Bisceglie.

A spokesman for Moynihan said the senator will introduce the legislation again early next year. With the new Congress, the tax bill's prospects "are looking better."

Theodore Kaczynski was sentenced in May to spend the rest of his life in prison for bomb attacks that left three dead and 23 others injured between 1978 and 1995.

David Kaczynski said he didn't want to write his own book about his experience.

"I don't feel ready to go into all the details of the family history at this point," he said Friday. "It's not something I would want to do quickly for money."
