You're stating that like it's a fact. I don't think there's any credible evidence of the 4chan staff makeup changing significantly during GamerGate, other than a "leaked" IRC chatlog which essentially portrayed moot & mods cackling gleefully while rubbing their hands together like James Bond villains.

To be fair, I kind of always assumed that moot and mods did what they did solely for the shits and giggles they themselves got out of it.
It's not like they were running a distinguished web portal that would bring them fame, riches, and glory; they run the sewage pit of the Internet.
