    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.
