Nishimura is the founder of 2channel, the Japanese website than 4chan began as a direct clone of. He is known for doing sketchy stuff in order to make a buck, and when he bought 4chan, many users speculated that he would mess with the site in some way to make a profit. I don't think anyone expected him to flat-out suggest malicious ads to his users, though.
