I didn't say "key figure". I think it's totally plausible this guy was just scraping content as a grift (he appeared to be making a decent amount of money from this app). I think it's unlikely that he was doing that without involvement or argumentation by 8kun, and per other posters here there has been reporting on connections between 8kun and qmap in the past. It strikes me as unlikely that QMap would have survived as it does without the sanction of 8kun. And as QAnon posts are only authenticatable in the context of 8kun's tripcodes, that seems to argue that they were in cahoots. It's not just a web scraping app, basically.
