8chan.net may have hosted discussions by a lot of radicals, including some who committed real crimes. The FBI raided their Reno, Nevada, USA site and presumably shut them down. An FBI agent who had been using 8chan (to apparently persuade its readers to blame Russia for a lot of things) was accidentally outed when he photocopied reports of 8chan discussion with his own posts. According to the twitter link above, the 8chan company was set up by someone who specializes in tax avoidance and LLCs. That would naturally relate to the recent Trump tax reform which made it much easier for people to start an LLC and get better tax rates as a business than one would have as an individual.
This is clearly a very artificial connection of things, but in today's world stranger things have proven to be true. Is it possible a serious connection could be made from Trump and the Washington Republicans to other groups which use the LLC tax dodge and are part of the greater group of haters? I don't know. We'll have to just wait and see if anything like that becomes evident.
