Saint reports that 4Chan.org’s founder Christopher “moot” Poole was called in as government witness in order to testify to the definition of terminology used on the web forum.
Poole had been called to testify due to 4Chan’s involvement in the “hacking” of Sarah Palins Yahoo email account during the 2008 elections by David Kernell. Kernell who initially uploaded images found on Palin’s email account to 4Chan was later arrested and given two felony counts for the incident.
Poole was previously involved with authorities after the incident and was forced to hand over server logs and records by way of FBI search warrant.
Provided below is the testimony of Poole describing 4Chan terminology to the court:
