He also made money with bestiality porn and invested in the fediverse software Plemora.

OnlyFans is not his first foray into the world of adult content. After emigrating with his family from Ukraine to Chicago, he set up a company called Cybertania at the age of 17. It ran a number of websites in the early 2000s that marketed "hacked" and "illegal" passwords to porn sites, Forbes reported last year.

Password Universe, one of the websites, included a link to a site that advertised more than 10,000 "illegal pre-teen passwords" in 2000. Another, Ultra Passwords, claimed to link to "the hottest bestiality site on the web," according to Forbes.

Completely missed the part that he also made money with CSAM.

Didn't even think about that lol. The article was linked on Wikipedia as a source that Leonid Radivinsky funded Plemora.
