Epstein had nothing to do with the reintroduction of the political board on 4chan, or anything else related to the site. The decision to add the board was made weeks in advance and the board was added almost 24 hours before the first chance encounter at a social event. His assistant then approached me and I met him once for an unforgettable lunch. This happened at a time when I was meeting hundreds of people a month speaking and networking at tech events.
I didn’t meet him again and didn’t keep in touch. I regret ever having met him and my deepest sympathies go out to all his victims.
