announcing Wednesday it is suspending operations “immediately” because of “current operational and legal challenges.” The legal challenges are likely a reference to the arrest of founder and CEO Carlos Watson on fraud charges in New York City last week.
A detention memo obtained by The Daily Beast accused Watson of misleading investors and fudging the company’s audience numbers to advertisers—crimes that could land Watson behind before for up to 37 years if he’s convicted. It's the second time Ozy Media has suspended operations, with the last instance in 2021.
