Staff Reports
James O'Keefe, the founder and face of Project Veritas, was placed on paid administrative leave. The organization's board of directors is currently considering his removal from his position.
According to anonymous sources, O'Keefe' management style included berating his employees and eating a meal that belonged to a woman who was pregnant.
As I report in today's @NYMag post about O'Keefe's going on leave, Project Veritas employees this week circulated a 11-page letter of anonymous complaints about O'Keefe's management 1/2

A thread on Old Row claimed that O'Keefe's situation was the result of a hostile takeover bid. It cited an anonymous source who claimed that two members of the organization's board attempted to take over the company due to the allegations of misconduct against him.
"about ten employees aired their grievances about James, which essentially boiled down to him being a tough boss to work for. At the end of this six hour struggle session, Tyrmand and fellow board member John Garvey put him on leave and stripped him of all authority."

"Swig noted that the situation allowed two individuals to exert significant influence over the organization's board and management. These individuals, who are identified as John Garvey and Barry Hinckley, are reportedly trying to remove O'Keefe from his position due to their meritless claims."
The preceding is a summary of an article that originally appeared on Town Hall.
