James O'Keefe Resigns From Project Veritas

[DAILYWIRE] Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe announced his exit from his investigative group on Monday while hinting at a new journalism venture in the future.

O’Keefe, who founded the nonprofit famous for its sting operations in 2011, spoke to his former team and the Project Veritas Board of Directors in Mamaroneck, New York, according to OANN.

"I was stripped of all decision-making last week," O’Keefe said in a video posted to Vimeo on Monday.

"Currently, I have no job at Project Veritas," he added. "I have no position here based upon what the board has done — so I’m announcing to you all that today, on President’s Day, I’m packing up my personal belongings here."

R.C. Maxwell, a front man for Project Veritas, tweeted that O’Keefe "was removed from his position as CEO by the Project Veritas board."

During his remarks, O’Keefe said he was stripped of his authority as CEO for at least 180 days and removed from the board of directors, citing board meeting notes. O’Keefe also claimed he had issued an ultimatum to the board to resign, which was not heeded.

The Daily Wire reached out to Project Veritas for comment.

In addition, O’Keefe hinted at his future after Project Veritas. "Our mission continues on. I’m not done. The mission will perhaps take on a new name," he said.

#1 O'Keefe's speech to PV employees:
I need to make clear I have not resigned from the company, Project Veritas, I founded 13 years ago. I was stripped of my position as CEO and Chairman.

Appears to be an open position over in Cape Girardeau, Mo. that O'Keefe would be ideally suited to fill.

#4 Knowing how O'Keefe operates, there will be covert videos of the remaining PV board members bragging about the money they took from Moderna, Pfizer and DNC soon.

#5 In two days they have lost 11% of their twitter following. I suspect donor losses will be even more impactful.

#6 James provides a valuable service to us. There doesn’t appear to be any barriers to prevent him from reentering the market as the Truth Endeavor or some other similar name. He would acquire a portion of his donors, sources and loyal staff immediately. Probably, there would be some danger of infiltration. It will be interesting to see whether Project Veritas continues to provide a service or whether they will become like Drudge or just evaporate.

#7 Project Veritas is James O'Keefe.

PV board members who removed James:
- Barry Hinkley
- Daniel Strack
- Matt Tyrmand

A mole was involved in the internals of the non-profit to hire less than neutrals. B.Hinkley was hired from CNN. Appears to be a coordinated plan.

#8 ^ Maybe he will staff it full of CNN talent. Plenty of that available.

According to various employees, Barry Hinckley (CSO)3
, Matthew Tyrmand (BoD)4

, Tom O’Hara (CFO), and Daniel Strack (Executive Director)5
were the so-called ringleaders of the effort to remove O’Keefe from the company. Allegedly they have claimed O’Keefe misappropriated company funds, incurred outlandish expenses, and violated the company’s various HR policies. The ringleaders organized an ‘intervention’ where the board spent hours confronting O’Keefe bringing in multiple employees to share their grievances with the board. The overarching argument made to the board was that Project Veritas will soon collapse entirely as donors and employees flee if O'Keefe is not removed—of course if James IS removed donors and employees will ALSO flee. By the end of the meeting, the board voted to put O’Keefe on paid administrative leave pending a board meeting on February 10th (tomorrow).6

Public filings only show that Project Veritas only has three directors: John K Garvey, Colin Sharkey, and Matthew Tyrmand7
but presumably O’Keefe and others are ALSO on the board of directors. In fact, according to Mike Swartz's source, the current board consists of Matt Tyrmand, John Garvey, George Skakel, Joseph Barton, Steve Alembik, Tom O’Hara, and Barry Hinckley.

#11 Project Veritas should have been established as a Single Member LLC.
