I'm told almost all of Project Veritas was just laid off and this is legit
"All of production, all of field ops, all of comms, all of legal. Only remaining are office admin, HR person, a couple development people & IT"
On Monday, five people were fired according to the report - including a more recent hire, producer Pam Browne, who was brought in by O'Keefe last year. Others who were fired were allegedly done so in retaliation for their undercover work (!?). The remaining employees are 'primarily admin,' after around 20 people were fired on Thursday.
"Since James quit, the donations dried up...the donations never resumed,"

I never understood how he could be fired by his own company anyway.
That would be like "X" (stupid name) firing Musk.

Musk was fired from PayPal, and he was one of the founders.
James Edward O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is an American political activist who founded Project Veritas, a far-right activist group that uses deceptively edited videos and information gathering techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups.

Project Veritas was big enough to have a board of directors? Seriously?

Seriously. If you form a legal corporation, such as a 501(c)3, a Board of Directors is required.

Interesting. The ousting of O'Keefe was clearly orchestrated; he had pissed off too many powerful players.
Cheers
While the exact nature of the investigation is not yet public, the timing would suggest that it relates to O’Keefe’s alleged financial improprieties during his tenure as the group’s chairman and CEO. Back in February, O’Keefe was accused of spending “an excessive amount of donor funds in the last three years on personal luxuries” by the conservative nonprofit’s own board of directors, amid their very public feud over the management and future of Veritas. Westchester DA Miriam Rocah’s probe follows a raft of civil lawsuits, criminal investigations, and six-figure court losses that have trailed the group under O’Keefe’s leadership—including a still-active federal investigation into the theft of property belonging to President Biden’s daughter Ashley Biden.
