Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe has been placed on paid leave and stripped of all his powers. The decision came from a board of directors that appear to be operating on the orders of some shady people who are trying to either destroy the investigative news outlet, O’Keefe himself, or both.
According to a thread by @OldRowSwig:
THREAD: The Project Veritas Coup
A whistleblower has contacted me about the news that @JamesOKeefeIII was put on leave and stripped of all authority at @Project_Veritas
This is difficult for me to publish, as a STAUNCH supporter of PV for years & even a VIP at their events.

James is a bit of a victim of poor corporate structure, as PV is 2 separate orgs a 501c3 which had very FEW board members and the majority of the $$$ and a 501c4, which had significantly more board members but less $$$

Board members and C Suite officers involved in this according to my source are as follows:
Board members:
Matt Tyrmand – Ringleader
John Garvey
George Skakel
Joseph Barton (not the congressman)
Steve AlembikCFO: Tom O’Hara
COO: Barry Hinckley (Ringleader pronouns in bio) pic.twitter.com/IRI5kS1O43— Swig 🇺🇸 (@OldRowSwig) February 9, 2023
"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."

This comes in the immediate aftermath of @Project_Veritas GREATEST moment ever, exposing corruption at Pfizer, which my source thought was EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS timing.
You boot the founder right after your biggest win of all time???
PV must explain this situation!!!

If @JamesOKeefeIII leaves, I will no longer support @Project_Veritas and will support whichever venture he starts instead. My source says that the rank and file employees are STILL WITH JAMES, the board needs to realize PV will likely not survive if the go through with this!

A separate thread by @Amuse ads more details and context:
1/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
Four months ago Project Veritas hired 56-year-old Barry Hinckley to serve as Chief Strategy Officer. Hinckley wrote an email to PV staff claiming he had “stood up to a bully” and had lost his job as a result. pic.twitter.com/ZVtMaz8ZMM

3/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
Barry Hinckley, desperate for fame and fortune, recorded himself asking Ms. Bridget Beer to marry him. Hopefully, he's better at strategy than singing… pic.twitter.com/Zue9ycLhoe

5/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
Reportedly, @JamesOKeefeIII fired Barry Hinckley and Tom O’Hara (CFO) as a result of their insubordination.

7/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
I have ZERO doubt that @JamesOKeefeIII is a crazy man who is hard to work for, but without James, there would be no PV. Firing him would be the end of @Project_Veritas. The answer is to build a team who can support James not undermine him. I'm game. pic.twitter.com/r2hhMh8Puu

Project Veritas is coming off what was arguably it’s more important release, the Pfizer acknowledgements of “directed evolution” of Covid-19. The timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Is this coup about power-hungry men doing what’s best for them or are the Deep State or others trying to take down one of the most important sources of truth in America?
