The site, created in 2003 by then 15-year-old Christopher Poole, allows users to post anonymously without so much as a pseudonym. While 4chan itself may not be a household name, the platform has birthed many internet phenomenons over the years. Hacktavist group Anonymous also originally organized on the platform, but 4chan is also where nude pictures of celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence were leaked. In a call with CNNMoney, Shkreli declined to comment on a possible 4chan deal but did talk about 4chan more broadly. In an email to CNNMoney, Nisimura shared a similar sentiment: He "personally [doesn't] like sexists and racists ... [but] If I like[d] censorship, I would have already [done] that."
