    all makes sense now. Epstein became buddy buddy with moot, /pol/ gets launched, is insanely influential in getting trumps first term.

    I mean I used to roll my eyes at the thought that an illuminati existed but now it’s clearly evident that it DOES exist and is running the whole show. Wouldn’t surprise me if Epstien was also friends with spez and was influential in driving Aaron Swartz to suicide. hell I’m even questioning if that was suicide at this point.

    The fact that our entire world has been essentially shaped by rich and powerful peoples desire to fuck children is absolutely fucking insane. everything at this point. I feel like everything I’ve ever used, enjoyed, or was passionate about was created or influenced by a pedophile. I used to use 4chan, moot is a pedophile. used to use windows, gates is a pedophile. what else?

      Now we pray Gaben’s and Torvalds’ names aren’t mentioned in the Epstein files for one more day.

      moot sold 4chan before /pol/ was launched. It’s possible he didn’t want to play ball with Epstein and sold it for his safety though.

      My personal opinion was that it went down hill after the sale.

        no Moot left the site in Jan of 2015 and handed operation over to like a few 4chan mods while he was looking for a buyer. I remember his last Q&A on the site after the fact. /pol/ launched in 2011.

          Didn’t he play around with a /pol/ board, but shut it down quickly? I thought it was Hiroyuki that brought it back.

            possibly? I’m not sure. I know it was launched in the fall of 2011 shortly after the docs say he met with Epstein. Then apparently moot turned down a second meeting the following January. so maybe /pol/ also went away then? can’t remember.

              Given these new revelations, I wouldn’t be surprised if getting contacted by Epstein was a motivator for selling and getting out of the game. I remember when he was called to testify before congress, he didn’t want to do it thought he could turn it down. He really only founded the site to get hentai.
