Trump’s Gab “Account” Actually Belong To Site’s CEO

I thought it was weird that we never heard about Trump having an account on Gab:

Former President Donald Trump’s verified Gab account was among those that were compromised (though the account’s description says it’s “reserved” for Trump, and Torba has stated that Trump himself doesn’t use it).

When I got my hands on the Gab data, the first thing I did was look up Trump’s account, and the first thing I noticed was the email address associated with it: [email protected]. Why was Trump using this obscure email address, and what is Kuhcoon?

It turns out that Torba, the current CEO of Gab, is the former CEO and founder of Kuhcoon, a tech startup that offered automated Facebook ad campaigns. According to a 2015 interview, Torba started Kuhcoon in 2011 with his college roommate.
