Google CEO Sundar Pichai testified at the federal financial conspiracy trial of collapsed startup Ozy Media and its founder Carlos Watson, countering claims that Google once sought to buy Ozy. Pichai stated that Google considered hiring Watson but never offered to purchase Ozy for $600 million. The trial revealed deception and fraud within Ozy Media, with the defense arguing that Watson was being unfairly singled out for mistakes made by his co-founder Samir Rao, who pleaded guilty to fraud-related charges.
