“N.T. Technology, Inc.” (NTTEC) is an American web hosting company founded by Jim Watkins as a front for a pornography website during the late 1990s, prior to becoming a web hosting company that went into the business of letting foreign adult-oriented websites circumvent laws.¹⁾²⁾

The company is mostly known for hosting 2channel and its side service³⁾ which got hacked in 2013⁴⁾⁵⁾⁶⁾ and somehow led to Watkins seizing the website from Hiroyuki on February 19, 2014.⁷⁾⁸⁾ Months later, NTTEC partnered with 8chan,⁹⁾¹⁰⁾ as Brennan mistook him as 2channel's owner,¹¹⁾ and took control of 8chan¹²⁾¹³⁾ by lying about their financial situation.¹⁴⁾¹⁵⁾

During his military career, he married a South Korean woman named “Ton Sun” who would give birth to Ron in 1987²²⁾²³⁾ as Jim attended a technology school in Virginia, then he left the military by 1998²⁴⁾ or 1999.²⁵⁾ By this point in time, he set up the “Asian Bikini Bar” at “asian-bikini.com” in 1997,²⁶⁾ the company renamed to “N.T. Technology, Inc.” to be less conspicuous,²⁷⁾²⁸⁾ then the 2000s came.

From there, he started many business ventures in the United States,³¹⁾ Japan,³²⁾ and the Philippines, even using his wife's name^33)34)35)36) before their presumed divorce.³⁷⁾ In 2001, he married a Filipino woman named “Liziel Orje”,³⁸⁾ though he didn't actually move to the Philippines until 2004³⁹⁾ and eventually became a full-time resident in 2007.⁴⁰⁾ In 2021, the Philippines declared him an “undesirable alien” and fled.⁴¹⁾
