4chan’s creator says ‘Epstein had nothing to do’ with creating infamous far-right board /pol/

Epstein had nothing to do with the reintroduction of a political committee on 4chan, or anything else related to the site. The decision to add the painting was made weeks in advance, and the painting was added nearly 24 hours before a first chance encounter at a social event. His assistant later contacted me and I met him once for an unforgettable lunch meeting. This happened at a time when I was meeting hundreds of people a month while speaking and networking at tech events.

I didn’t see him again or maintain contact. I regret having met him and I have deep sympathy for all his victims.
