Seven months after James O'Keefe announced he'd been ousted from Project Veritas, the company he founded in 2010 has imploded. Former Veritas employee and investigative reporter Bobby Harr announced that Project Veritas has suspended all operations effective immediately, which The Post Millennial later confirmed.
"BREAKING: Project Veritas suspends all operations effective immediately," Harr wrote on Wednesday. "CEO @HannahMGiles and Jen Kiyak of Human Resources cite financial ruin as reason for additional layoffs on 9/20/23 leaving merely a handful of employees left. All investigations halted as of today."
A source close to the matter told The Post Millennial that the journalists who were left on staff after the August 17 mass firing were terminated on Wednesday. The journalists who had remained were essentially relegated to fundraising, as the company was floundering.
"SOS Hannah Giles just fired us all," read a swiftly deleted tweet on August 17. Giles, who became notorious for starring in the ACORN video with founder and former CEO James O'Keefe that launched the company, took over for O'Keefe after he was summarily pushed out by the board of directors. She took over as CEO only to destroy the company entirely.
"Since James quit," a source told Post Millennial, "the donations dried up...the donations never resumed. The board were desperate to bring Hannah on board because they thought it would be cute but the problem is she's a charlatan and a fraud. Everything she's ever done has been a failure and she lied to everyone claiming she had all these donors she could bring in."
In February, O'Keefe stated that he had been suspended from his position as CEO. This came after 16 staffers sent a letter to the Project Veritas board of directors accusing O'Keefe of financial misdeeds and employee harassment.

All by design ...
Did anything they invested stick? I can’t remember if they actually got any indictments and wins.
Way to fight the good fight Hannah. NOT.
Well, that will get him for taking a pregnant lady’s sandwich and wasting money on dance videos. Maybe they can sell OMG the name.
James O’Keefe gets the last laugh. He stayed true to his beliefs and mission and was able to walk away with the donors and the movement and the leftist saboteurs got left holding a bag of sh!t.
i don’t remember that they ever published even a single exposé ...
They did influence a couple of elections and exposed a number of things so they became a target and now they are gone.
I’m hoping something replaces them. We definitely need an investigation group on our side.
They bit the hand that fed them. Then they bit it off entirely!
later
O’Keefe has already formed a similar project and will continue his investigative journalism.
James O’Keefe gets the last laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It will be even better if there are some worthwhile assets and personnel that O’Keefe can pick up for zero pennies on the dollar....I bet there were plenty of investigations started while he was still there that were in a holding pattern just waiting for the right time to be kickstarted again.
This is a fine birthday present.

Bittersweet for James, I would imagine, seeing what he created go down in flames. At the same time, James WAS Project Veritas & the leftists at PV cut off their noses to spite their faces when they forced James out .... there has to be some satisfaction in seeing them fail without him & the loyal donors who told PV to pound sand.
You have not heard of OMG?
Wow, that didn’t take long
Even the deep-state folks who planned this coup against O’keefe probably expected PV would remain a useful shill for at least a while longer.
Can they sell the costumes to raise some funds?
Project Veritas was undermined from within by leftists, and they shafted O’Keefe -removing him from his position.
He then formed OMG.
He’s still out there doing good work under another name.
