The decision to add the board was made weeks beforehand, and the board was added almost 24 hours prior to a first, chance encounter at a social event. His assistant reached out to me afterward, and I met with him one time for an unmemorable lunch meeting. This happened at a time when I was meeting hundreds of people a month while speaking and networking at tech events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup ewrhy38 _1xwtict1\">I did not meet him again nor maintain contact. I regret having ever encountered him at all, and have deep sympathy for all of his victims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/879132\/moot-4chan-jeffrey-epstein-meeting-pol\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Epstein had nothing to do with the reintroduction of a politics board to 4chan, nor anything else related to the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16696"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
