Former TV host Carlos Watson has taken the witness stand in the criminal trial surrounding the collapse of his Ozy Media.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has testified briefly at the federal financial conspiracy trial surrounding the collapse of once-touted startup Ozy Media.

For nearly a decade, Ozy Media projected an image of new-media success.

The embattled company Ozy Media is scrambling to find a lawyer to represent it against federal fraud charges.

The founder of the troubled digital start-up Ozy Media has pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal fraud charges accusing him of scheming to prop up his financially struggling company.

Carlos Watson, the CEO of Ozy Media, says it was “premature” to shut down and that he wants to keep operating, despite a scandal-ridden week that exposed Ozy as a media company without much of an audience.

Ozy is shutting down less than a week after a New York Times column raised questions about the media organization’s claims of millions of viewers and readers, while also pointing out a potential case of securities fraud.
