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.

I'm sure they burned through every penny they had.
His mugshot is probably posted in every boardroom and regional office of every corporation that engages in sketchy practices.
There’s a shock. That was the goal of the new regime at PV anyway. Mission accomplished.
Bump
Yes that’s the one that impressed me the most. A better term is shocked, of course the Clinton News Network (CNN) defended her saying the video was cherry picked. LOL how do you cherry pick a segment that is uninterrupted video when the demonic leftist bitch was giggling and talking about making tons of money off buying and selling baby parts. WHILE SHE WAS SIPPING RED WINE.

can’t play it...must be a screenshot.
Mission Accomplished. So if you meet me
Have some courtesy.
James didn’t quit....he was pushed out by a TOTALLY PSTUPID BOARD! Glad they went under.
Yeah...James didn’t hardly miss a step. The shock to us was much bigger than the gap between his leaving PV and his starting up OMG.
Sadly not a bit of notice. Where is the work? The media? Nothing.
I wonder what is going to happen to his legal case with the NYT. Maybe this was a way to kill the company so all of those legal cases just go away.
I just got an email from them informing me that my donations have been paused. I stopped donating when JOK left, but started back up when they continued to go after groomers. I had hoped JOK and PV could agree to just go their own ways and continue their work, but it looks like JOK is the one left standing. Too bad.
James should buy the PV name and building back for $1.
The INEVITABLE has happened.
“His mugshot is probably posted in every boardroom and regional office of every corporation that engages in sketchy practices.”
You just described 95% of the Fortune 500.
Just like it was an organized effort to destroy Faux News.
Infiltrate, destroy the company, leave with a pocket full of cash, move onto next target.
Reminds me a bit of Acorn and its strategy....
I’ve seen this happen several times in organizations. Someone comes on board, learns a little bit from the master, and starts trying to take over. Thinks they’re doing just as much, just as well; when in fact they only understand a part of the surface and are only doing a limited imitation—because they are not the creator/fountain of ideas.
I’ve seen it ruin organizations. Other times, I’ve seen the interloper get fired in the nick of time and the organization survives.
