>>56897146>He said in the final Q&A that it was never profitableStraight up lie, moot said to TechCrunch back in 2009 that it was about to break even, he also said in 2012 when the passes and self serve ads were introduced that the site was doing quite well
It wasn't until 2013 that he started to deny that, thankfully the aussie guy who hated FWG found the passes data showing that they had netted a 250k
moot's lifestyle also showed how well the site was going, he was always traveling to yurop or in some con, and staying in expensive NYC hotels with his new Apple trash
Also, Hiro wouldn't had bought the site if it wasn't profitable
>The fappening hit it very hard due to legal battles and wasted a lot of money because of itIt didn't, there has been literally ZERO legal battles involving 4chan, moot for no reason freaked out and burnt all his money in retarded legal counseling
There were much worse shit than the Fappening before, like the Stratfor stuff, the lulzsec stuff, Project Chanology
The only time when 4chan was involved in a legal battle was when moot testified in federal court during the Sarah Palin email leaks in 2010
