Is "QAnon" even a person? I am under the impression that is a moniker that has likely been used by numerous unrelated people.

I know believers of this stuff think "QAnon" is a person, but I've not seen any evidence that leads me to believe this is the case and quite a bit of conjecture / circumstantial evidence that suggests at one point the name was being used by a cabal of imageboard moderators.

There was an account on 8chan which would sign posts with "Q" and a unique hash which could be used to prove the identity of a particular person or group posting. Last I looked this account/hash hadn't been heard from in some time though.
All the posts are viewable at Qmap.pub he posted less than 2 days ago. Encourage you to check it out.
You say "he" but for all you really know any number of people could have knowledge of that tripcode.
