BTW, the business model was very sustainable when O'Keefe was in charge.

“...the business model was very sustainable when O’Keefe was in charge.”

Exactly right. They killed the Golden Goose. O’Keefe was PJ and PJ was O’Keefe.

The business model was not sustainable.

The business model of forcing out the guy who built you up from nothing? Are they surprised their business model is failing?

The point of the board coup was not to preserve the organization. It was meant to destroy Project Veritas and restrict O’Keefe’s activities.

Some people got paid off to commit organizational suicide.
