> Why would someone publish money making information rather than make the money for themselves?

Perhaps because they enjoy academia far more than money making?

Some people like Grigori Perelman [0] are just not interested in money or fame, or both.

I’m not aware of Perelman publishing a “a pattern that generates superior risk-adjusted returns".

That type of information is worth millions, and there are many investment firms offering very lucrative positions to those that can identify a pattern that generates superior risk-adjusted returns.

Outside of very rare outliers, it doesn’t seem reasonable to assume that information that will generate outsized returns will be publicly available.
