I’m not going to mourn the demise of this organization, though: Project Veritas is dead. Dead, dead, dead.
Project Veritas, the conservative organization founded by James O’Keefe, suspended all operations on Wednesday after another round of layoffs, Mediaite has learned.
According to a letter titled “Reduction in Force” that was sent to Project Veritas staffers by HR director Jennifer Kiyak on Wednesday, the organization is putting all operations on pause amidst severe financial woes.
The rat-faced scumbag who built the organization lie by lie was already out, and is pretending he had nothing to do with the collapse. It was the other guy. Except, of course, that O’Keefe was the one who established the principles of pseudo-journalism and fraud that formed the foundation of Project Veritas.
O’Keefe, a right-wing activist who gained fame and notoriety for his sting operations against liberal groups, launched Project Veritas in 2010. He left the organization earlier this year amid allegations of improper spending of funds on personal luxuries. He was replaced by Giles as CEO, who has overseen the rapid decline of the once well-funded group that has in recent months struggled with layoffs, the resignations of board members, and fundraising struggles.
Earlier this month, Mediaite reported on an internal meeting during which Giles said the organization was “bankrupt.”
Huh. Go anti-woke, go broke, I guess.
Pierce R. Butler says
At least O’Keefe has the wardrobe ready to return to pimping.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy… what a shame. Bless his heart.

… organization was “bankrupt”.
Turned out that they can’t pay their bills, either.

I was very upset when the Democrats and others threw victims of Veritas under the bus instead of standing up for the truth.
birgerjohansson says
Going off on a tangent, there is another tightly knit group that also has a strange attitude to “truth”

“They censored me”

They’re a one-trick pony, and once the scam was uncovered they lost value for their funding sources. The money behind them hasn’t disappeared, it will only ooze laterally and appear somewhere else, in a more sophisticated and poisonous disguise.
stuffin says
O’Keefe will certainly find another scam to fulfill his life’s dream of owning the Libs.

Oh, that asshole. “Go fash, lose cash” sounds appropriate, here.
StevoR says
“Project Veritas” huh. If ever something wa s misnamed and the opposite of what its name suggested.
Of course that’s something the reich-wing regularly does with words liek “family” änd Patriot”and “freedom” being so often thrown around and applied by thm as names to grouops that are opposed to families, patriotism in its better senses, freedom, etc..
Raging Bee says
That pathetic little brat should have been forced to get a real job a LONG time ago.

First Uncommon Descent now Project Veritas. The cracks are widening. Now, if we could just get a torpedo into that Ark …
drivenb4u says
Oh my, this is the best news I’ve heard all month. Can’t wait to inform some of their fans.
Tabby Lavalamp says
But enough about their morals…
cheerfulcharlie says
It gets better. Project Veritas is now suing James O’Keefe, according to the Daily Beast. Using Veritas as his private piggy bank, poaching Veritas supporters to start a rival business and more.
Lawyers gonna be expensive.
