moot sells 4chan:

Christopher Poole sold 4chan to Hiroyuki Nishimura, founder of 2Channel: 

"It is a move that Mr. Poole, who grew 4chan to more than 20 million monthly visitors with no assistance from venture capital or full-time employees, describes as coming full circle. 2Channel, Mr. Poole said, is the site devoted to anime and Japanese culture that inspired Mr. Poole to create 4chan.“
