A Tooele man is charged in a child pornography case and a Taylorsville woman he was dating has been arrested after police say she sent him explicit photos of a child to
keep in mind they literally doxxed him IIRC and this was around the time 4chan was being completely overtaken by Nazis so it is very likely that someone would have tried to fuck with him if he had shut down the entire board lol
I seriously think he should have just deleted /pol/ for good after the Gamergate fiasco when they started prying into his personal life/relationships but moot was/is too naive to do it. He was like the last thing holding the site together though, it is now proven that the site had a mod coup shortly after he left and now the majority of the admin staff is Nazis. You could actually get banned for being too racist outside of /pol/ waaaay back in 2010/11
Also, I don't think he did a dialectical materialist analysis, so I don't think he realize that there would be an Internet-wide Nazi movement. Nothing like that happened until then.
Also, remember that there was a time when 4chan wasn't completely far-right. One of the big memes on /tg/ for instance was laughing at /b/ people for thinking that their racist shit was going to go over well there.
