They’re melting down because they seriously thought they could replace James and everything would continue on without a hitch.

We should all definitely trust the board to be above board on all of the board issues with the guy who started the process that lead to the board even being a board? Sorry but I can’t get on board with this board.

I admit that I stole it fair and square from elsewhere.

“They’re melting down”

To be fair, blivots (ten pounds of manure in a five pound bag) don’t really melt.

O’keefe pissed someone off. And that’s his job.

“$14,000 on a charter flight to meet someone to fix his boat under the guise of meeting with a donor”

Is his boat bigger than Rubio’s boat?

“Project Veritas’ social media following has been cascading into nothingness at a rapid rate ever since it decided to get rid of O’Keefe.”

I think that was the whole point. O’Keefe finally hurt big big money once too often. Project Veritas had to be over and the board has made sure (1) To end project veritas as an important organization and (2) Geld O’Keefe in the future as a credible source of new revelations when he tries to create a new Project Veritas.

The money was given to James to buy as many pimp suits as he wanted. He is a national hero. The Viking horde is coming for you, board.

RE: It’s only $14K to charter a flight?

I’m not familiar with the price. How much is it on average?

If you do a search, it looks like about 4 hours of charter time if you rented a small plane.

By that measure, he would have flown about 90 minutes one way and maybe spent an hour with whomever he was talking to. Something like that.

I’m guessing he was rushed and had to get back to business and this was the most efficient way to handle his business.

This will not break him.

Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker.

God help the board and anyone else involved. There will be retribution. James fights.

Lessons learned: As an entrepreneur starting your own small business or organization, do not organize it in such a manner that requires you to answer to a board of directors. Do not file as a 501C3, which subjects you to excessive control by the IRS. If you need capital or partners, organize it as an LLC, which allows you to more easily add or remove partners without giving up control.

Don’t ask me how I know.

Jep, LLC. Complicates taxes a bit with the schedule K’s and rationally having to dividend out at the end of the year to avoid double taxation but you retain control.

I won't. Your experience speaks for itself. And when I am employed fully again I will remember you.
