  • A federal jury in July found Mr. Watson, who started the digital media company in 2013, guilty of trying to defraud investors and lenders.

Carlos Watson, the founder of Ozy Media, was sentenced to five years in prison on December 16, 2024, following his conviction on charges of fraud and conspiracy. The sentencing came after a high-profile trial that exposed the deceptive practices at Ozy Media, where Watson and other executives were found to have misled investors, advertisers, and the public about the company's financial health and partnerships. The case highlighted issues of media ethics and the pressures within the startup culture to project success at all costs. Watson's defense argued that his intentions were to keep the company afloat during tough times, but prosecutors emphasized the deliberate nature of the fraud, which included impersonating other media executives to secure deals. The sentencing serves as a cautionary tale for media startups and underscores the legal and ethical boundaries that must be respected in business operations.
