    Are you sure that's the same Christopher Poole? I don't believe he ever lived in Utah, and it doesn't really sound like an uncommon name. Also, since he is somewhat a public figure, they would mention 4chan there, and I also can't find anything saying that Christopher "moot" Poole was arrested by searching for it.

      Same age as moot.

      But yeah I found another Christopher Poole who is from Utah and is alive. A few dead ones too.

      So probably not moot.

        There happen to be a couple people with that name, one of them is discovered to be a pedophile and you think it's probably not the guy with that name who also founded 4chan?

        No way does that happen lmao, what would be an astounding coincidence

          Usually I would agree with you… But what the fuck would moot be doing living in Utah of all places.

            Why not? The geography doesn't really play into it for me, Im not convinced it should, then again I don't care very much and am definitely just speculating wildly

            Same reason Ted Bundy loved Utah. Mormons are easy targets.

              OK, but moot is not a serial killer. And he's a clear weeb who is now rich. He could probably move to Tokyo or something, and he picks Utah?

        I don't know where he currently lives, but he worked for Google until 2021, so most likely California?

          He lives in California and has a wife and kids now. He pretty much disavowed 4chan entirely because he wanted to live a normal life

      Yeah, the dude used the money he made off selling 4chan to live the weeb life in Japan. Highly doubt he's in Utah lol
