Mediaite– 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.
“In the interest of preserving the possible future existence of Project Veritas we need to put operations on pause and, as communicated since the Spring, another Reduction in Force (“RIF”) is necessary,” Kiyak wrote.
ix staffers were laid off from the embattled organization this week, sources said, including all remaining journalists and one development associate. One former Project Veritas staffer said just 11 people remain on the non-profit’s payroll, including CEO Hannah Giles.
Kiyak wrote in the letter that the group cannot “carry the present staff count any longer” and reminded those being laid off of their nondisclosure agreements.
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. more
That’s a shame
Woe to any organization that survives on donations when people are having a tough time putting food on the table & a roof over their heads.
Seems they deserve their fate after ousting O’Keefe.
They must have trusted others that promised funding once he was gone.
Shitcan the originator and driving force of an organization and it collapses.
Who woulda thunk it?
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
That was probably the plan when they kicked O’Keefe out. They just didn’t plan on him starting OMG.
The doorknob of KARMA just hit them in the ass!
I’m wondering if that chick that took over has been paid as the hitman that murdered PV.
No doubt she’ll contract for similar destruction elsewhere
Stevie Wonder told me he could could see this coming
Everyone told you there was no Project Veritas without James, but did you listen? Nooooo
Your evil ways are coming to an end. When parasites kill the host, they are killing themselves. But you’re not smart enough to realize that.
FAFO you back stabbing swine.
VAL WAS CHEATED! Bien as well “rode a pale horse!”!
