Well duh. ReplyAll actually talked to a couple of them months ago about the start of Q and who is running it now:

tl:dl - The original message board had all anonymous accounts, and you couldn't change your password. So people's passwords often got stolen, posted in the open, and others would post as that person.

This happened with the Q account a bunch of times, until they rebuilt the sites' engine, and the owners of the new engine took over the Q account.

It's a dude in the Philippines and his son. The dude is the money, the son is Q. And he's scrubbed himself from the net, so he seems really mysterious... but he's just a rich man's putz kid.
