   The digital media company has raised eyebrows for its claims about its   
   audience size for years. Then came the strange voice on the phone.

   This past winter, Goldman Sachs was closing in on a $40 million   
   investment in Ozy, a digital media company founded in 2013, and there   
   seemed to be a lot of reasons to do the deal. Ozy boasted of a large   
   audience for its general interest website, its newsletters and its   
   videos, and the company had a charismatic chief executive, Carlos   
   Watson, a onetime cable news anchor who had worked at Goldman Sachs   
   early in his career. And, crucially, Ozy said it had a great   
   relationship with YouTube, where many of its videos attracted more   
   than a million views.
