"The day before Epstein discussed meeting him - possibly the day they had met - Poole created a new discussion board on the website called /pol/, short for "politically incorrect." According to 4chan researcher Sal Hagen, Poole had previously shut down the board /new/ after bemoaning that it had been overrun by white supremacists. His creation of /pol/ may have been intended to contain 4chan's most bigoted population, but instead, /pol/ came to define the platform."
"On October 24th, 2011, Jeffrey Epstein was emailing back and forth with Boris Nikolic, a biotech venture capitalist who would later be named as a backup executor of Epstein's will. The two appeared to be discussing a meeting Nikolic had helped arrange between Epstein and "moot," the screen name for Christopher Poole, who created the platform 4chan in 2003."
Emails show Jeffrey Epstein communicated with Boris Nikolic about a meeting involving Christopher Poole, creator of 4chan. Those emails were published among 3.5 million documents released by the Department of Justice. The timing of the communications coincided with Poole creating the /pol/ board on 4chan, labeled "politically incorrect." Poole had previously shut down the /new/ board after it was overrun by white supremacists. The /pol/ board came to define 4chan and became a major alt-right internet space. Epstein maintained connections to figures and online spaces that combined white supremacy, misogyny, and alt-right influence.
