Didn't the admin of 420chan end up finding out Jim ran some CP operation in Thailand? I wanted to make a meta thread on this, but I got nervous it'd be taken the wrong way (like calling out pedos, or non-pedos think I'm looking for cp hookups), but since the epstein connection to 4chan stuff has been revealed, I've wondered just how deep the history of CP distribution via imageboards go. From my understanding, early internet cp peddling is split off into two categories:
softcore photoshoots, which are available on public, but inv-only, websites

hardcore cp is traded over usenet and instant messenger private groups

Then 4chan becomes a hotbed for lewd loli ass and sort of "normalizes" CP posting to the point where most kiddy sex websites on the deep web to this day are in a 4chan-style format, since people don't trust logging into cp forums anymore.
I want to say, I'm not into CP and I've never sought it out, but the production and distribution of underground porn fascinates me. There aren't too many non-criminals with an unbiased, non-justice seeking "pred buster" view on this, so there probably won't be an accurate write-up detailing stuff like this until hundreds of years from now
