And I especially hope there isn't a mob of creditors hounding everyone who ever stepped foot into their office for unpaid invoices and leave behind a string of penniless urchins who thought they were oh-so-clever.

Because that would be just terrible.

Fox News loved playing his video of him visiting Acorn dressed as a pimp until the state of California forced him to release the unedited video which showed that he did not visit the office dressed as a pimp but edited that in later. Fox News never spoke of it again and certainly never apologized to its viewers for showing a fake video.

A reminder, of course, that all power is not government and of what's become an insatiable thirst for lies.

The fuckers are just going to reincorporate under a new name and go back to doing the same shit. They got away with it for at least 15 years.

Nothing will change until there is jail time and/or income that is garnished.

It's like a hydra, lop one head off and two new ones replace it. They will probably lean into more social media and perhaps even operate outside of the United States.

Or maybe even by them -- reincorporated. Hope O'Keefe's legal troubles keep him too busy for a while, though.

WaPo: Project Veritas gained the admiration of major conservative donors as well as small-dollar grass-roots contributors with undercover videos exposing supposed bias or wrongdoing by journalists, labor leaders and liberal advocates. In 2021 alone, it raised $21,958,641 in contributions, according to the most recent available tax forms.
