We need your help!
After being selectively prosecuted and wrongfully convicted, Carlos Watson is facing a
devastating sentence of 22-37 years from a conflicted judge on December 13, 2024. We urgently need your support to combat this grave injustice.
Carlos Watson, a lifelong visionary and the innovative founder of
OZY, an inclusive media platform that reached millions globally, now faces an alarming miscarriage of justice. After resisting pressure to sell his company,
Carlos was railroaded in a trial plagued by bias and irregularities, resulting in his conviction. Unable to fully defend himself, he now confronts the outrageous prospect of 22 to 37 years in prison.
This situation is appalling. Carlos Watson is innocent, and the punishment is shockingly disproportionate to the charges of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and impersonation. Even more troubling, his trial was marked by the exclusion of crucial evidence and questionable conduct by the presiding judge.
We cannot allow this injustice to stand. Demand a fair investigation of the trial and judicial conduct, amplify Carlos’s story, and show the world that we won’t let bias and corruption win.
We need your help to shine a light on this egregious case.
Advocate for Carlos Watson by demanding transparency, accountability, and justice. Because if we don’t stand up for Carlos now, who will? And whose son is next?
With urgency and hope,
Carlos is Innocent
