N.T. Technology, Inc. (NTTEC) is the Statesian web hosting company that was founded by Jim Watkins as a front for a pornography website, before pivoting to mature content web hosting. Historically, the company is mostly known for its role in 2channel and 8chan.¹⁾²⁾

At some point, Nishimura and Watkins had a deal where NTTEC would handle processing for the '2ch Viewer' service,³⁾ then it got hacked in 2013⁴⁾⁵⁾⁶⁾ and Watkins ended up seizing 2channel in 2014⁷⁾⁸⁾ after Nishimura hesitated to restore the service.⁹⁾ Soon after, NTTEC partnered with 8chan,¹⁰⁾¹¹⁾ since Brennan mistook him as 2channel's founder,¹²⁾ and took control of 8chan¹³⁾¹⁴⁾ after lying about their finances.¹⁵⁾¹⁶⁾

James Arthur Watkins (born November 20, 1963), also known as Grape Ape or Yoga Pig, is the Statesian businessman from Dayton, Washington¹⁷⁾ who was raised on a farm in Mukilteo, graduated from Mariner High School,¹⁸⁾ and joined the United States Army in 1982, as a helicopter mechanic before he was moved to recruiter and became sergeant first class (E-7) by 1994.^19)20)21)

During his military career, Watkins met the Korean woman, Ton Sun, who birthed Ron Watkins in 1987. After attending a tech school in Virginia, he left the military in the late 1990s to focus on the 'Asian Bikini Bar' that started in 1997²²⁾ whose company would assume a less conspicuous name.²³⁾²⁴⁾ The legality of the website's content has been up for debate, reportedly housing child pornography filmed in the Philippines.²⁵⁾²⁶⁾

From there, Watkins began several business ventures in the United States,²⁷⁾ Japan,²⁸⁾ and the Philippines, even using his wife's name^29)30)31)32) before they divorced.³³⁾ In 2001, he married a Filipino woman, Liziel Orje,³⁴⁾ but didn't move to the Philippines until 2004,³⁵⁾ and eventually became a full-time resident in 2007.³⁶⁾ In 2021, the Philippine government declared him an 'undesirable alien', so he fled.³⁷⁾

“You are interested in asking me questions, and I am interested in seeing you naked. So if you send me a timestamped picture of yourself nude, I will answer two questions.”
– Ronald “Codemonkey” Watkins^38)39)40)

Ronald Arthur Watkins (born April 18, 1987),⁴¹⁾⁴²⁾ also known as Codemonkey, Kormiku, or Latermuse, was the Korean-Statesian son of Jim Watkins and Ton Sun Watkins.⁴³⁾ According to his Reddit account, he browsed 4chan's /b/ board,⁴⁴⁾⁴⁵⁾ somehow had /r/2channel moderator permissions, had hobbies (e.g. martial arts, music, programming,⁴⁶⁾ translating,^47)48)49) etc.), and once had the MBTI type of INTP.⁵⁰⁾⁵¹⁾

At some point, he would serve as the administrator of 2channel and 8chan, allegedly retired⁵²⁾ and went into conservative politics (e.g. disputing the 2020 election,^53)54)55) encouraging the January 6 attack,⁵⁶⁾⁵⁷⁾ losing the AZ-2 election,⁵⁸⁾⁵⁹⁾ etc.), then returned to his role at 8kun⁶⁰⁾ to develop their AI board.⁶¹⁾ They've since started using cryptocurrency lingo, which is to say, a whole lot of nothing.⁶²⁾
