I wouldn't go that far to say that Fredrick works for the bad actors. In my opinion the most probable scenario is that he has been harassed by the journalists enough that he wants to end it. He found out, that the best way to do that is to end 8chan.
The fact that he reached agreement with N.T.Tech suggests even otherwise. It's not 8chan the website/community he wants to end, it's 8chan the brand.
N.T.Tech didn't announce they actually "are" starting a pure Q board. Tom just said that he liked the name "QChan".
