Ozy Media CEO Says Company Isn’t Shutting Down

Last week was a whirlwind for Ozy Media. After the New York Times reported that an Ozy executive allegedly impersonated a YouTube executive during a fundraising meeting with Goldman Sachs, the digital media startup effectively imploded.  An early investor in the company surrendered shares, perAxios, and on Friday the company said it would be shutting down.

But on Monday, Ozy CEO Carlos Watson said on the TODAY Show that the company wouldn’t be shutting down after all. Given the fact that Ozy let go of its staff and is still dealing with the fallout of the Times report, Ozy’s path forward is unclear.
