- kinghajj 17y agoIf you're referring to moot's supposed identity "Christopher Poole," you're wrong. There's no verification that that is his real name, and I think it's just a joke. Just look at the initials: CP. For those of you who are uninitiated, "CP" is a 4chan meme for child pornography, and is closely associated with Pedobear.
- unalone 17y agoNo verification? He's been interviewed, at his home, by multiple magazines. I recall his parents were interviewed. And I've seen him at panels: He's not like most 4channers. I doubt he'd pull an elaborate prank. On the other hand, 4channers are retarded enough to assume he would.
- alex_c 17y agoIs there any reason to believe that Time, WSJ, etc., DIDN'T do any fact checking on the name they printed?
