Google CEO testifies at trial of collapsed startup Ozy Media and founder Carlos Watson

Google CEO Sundar Pichai testified briefly Friday at the federal financial conspiracy trial surrounding buzz-to-bust startup Ozy Media, countering founder Carlos Watson's alleged claims that the search giant once sought to buy Ozy.

“Mr. Watson was a critical part of Ozy Media, and we were considering making an investment in the company to make the transition easier," he explained.

But “did you ever offer to purchase Ozy Media for $600 million?” prosecutor Dylan Stern asked.
