O'Keefe Out at Project Veritas

Like you say, Project Veritas is not special. We can apply this to the grifters on the left side of the media and rationalize it if we want. Accept all the ******** because sometimes they take down some wrongdoers? No thanks.

They are special in one key way: they actually do real undercover journalism and expose corruption. That they choose to selectively edit to maximize impact is something you can pick at, but it does not invalidate the stories they uncover.

How do you destroy a powerful organization? It’s destroyed from the inside. Some of Klaus’ people done infiltrated PV.

He will be back sans the non-profit, tax exempt status.

Dig deep enough and I am convinced the money for the bribes eventually came from George Soros. O’Keffe was just too effective in what he did to be allowed to keep doing it.

Stupid. Kind of stuff happens all the time in startups. You just put a CFO there with direct report to the chair, then make everything over a certain threshold go through him.

What you do NOT do, is fire your key revenue driver and the very face of your company. That is just stupidity by the board. If he doesnt like having some financial controls and leaves in a huff, that is different but you do not fire them unless there is very serious misconduct.

Again, happens with top sales people, rain makers, developers, etc all the time. Top people are rarely accountants too and as the money gets more, they spend more lavishly. Smart ones who run a company put the controls in place themselves but if not, thats what the board/investors/donors do for you.

Thus - makes me think there is something else going on here. Surely the board could not be that stupid.

Surprised he hasn’t slit his throat and shot himself twice in the head.

Looks like his 15 minutes has come to a close.

He took people's money and mishandled it. Sounds very similar to what happened with BLM. Do you believe their leadership should resign also or do you believe the millions spent on a home for the CEO were appropriate?

The board may not be stupid but simply destroy the organization deliberately. That would be the conspiracy angle.
Of course, one of the classic rules of life is to “never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity”. 😉
Either way, this ship going down faster than the Lusitania and it is going to be ugly. Last person out needs to turn the lights off and schedule the bankruptcy sale of the office furniture because this thing is scuttled

You know one way to generate some revenue would be to publish full video and audio of all their previously, carefully edited gotcha moments
