The site along with other news site posted an important news (thanks to sentinel011 for the source) that the all-famous 2ch has now transfered ownership to a mysterious Singapore company. Hiroyuki Nishimura, 2channel founder and also CEO for NicoNico Douga has transfered its ownership for the largest forum – 2ch to a unknown comapny in Singapore. It is here at his blog, that he announced that this will take effect on the 1st Jan 2009.
It is not clearly known what is the reason but there are many speculations, a few being listed in the Sankaku Complex. The company to which 2ch has been transferred is Packet Monster Inc which clearly some unknown listed company.
Quoted from Sankau Complex,
A spot of searching reveals the lady listed in the contact details to be the CEO of a Singaporean company called Rikvin, specialising in Singapore-based offshore company formations.
With no particular connection to the business of managing web sites, we can speculate reasonably that the management continues to reside with Hiroyuki, and this move is thus entirely driven by tax or legal incentives.
Legal incentives ? It is definitely interesting to know what legal incentives that Singapore has as compared to Japan. Perhaps any experts here can shed some light.
