    His credit card was a fraud, his last festival was a fraud, he has been convicted of fraud.

    You would have to be a world class dumbass to fall for this

      Looks at Trump supporters. Plenty of dumbasses out there.

      Documentaries don’t generally get sequels, but here’s hoping enough dumbasses buy in so Netflix/Hulu can do another set.

      But it sounds so legit…

      After being released last year, McFarland began planning a second incarnation of Fyre festival, which he said he devised during a stint in solitary confinement. He told his followers on social media: “This is everything I’ve been working towards. Let’s fucking go.”

      I wonder if the chaos and turmoil is part of the whole shtick this time? Like it’s an art piece that you’re participating in?

        I’m sure that’s part of it. I think also the last Fyre festival became such a sensation that people actually did wish they had gone just to be able to say they were there. For people with lots of money and nothing better to do, maybe thats all that matters

      He was never coerced, that dude was just about that life. He straight up volunteered that information in the documentary.

        When you look at the power dynamic and situation though he was for sure. The amount of power Billy had over him was enough and remember how much work this guy had put in by then. For him to be solely responsible for it falling apart due to limited water supply would be an immeasurable level of pressure. Saying he’s “just about that life” comes across a bit homophobic tbh. He literally said he has never done something like that and in the end, didn’t need to anyway.

    “Scandal-hit” lol

    The dude straight up defrauded thousands of people. He didn’t cheat on his significant other. Though he’d probably do that a lot too he seems like a very crap person.

      How does Trump have supporters? There are nutters everywhere and more than enough to participate in something like this since you know this fraudster will get plenty of press for the event.

      The only reason this would make sense to do is if the penalty of fraud is outweighed by the benefit.

    The only way he stops this is if a bunch of hipsters go there ironically to have the worst time ever.

    I mean… It’s kind of a good idea. Ride that 'so fucked it’s cool ’ wave. Can’t wait to watch influencers invest yet again.

      I mean, it’s one banana Festival, Michael. What could it cost? 8000 dollars?

    At this point it’s just scammers going after the rich. So who cares.

    If you’re stupid enough to fall for it after everything that’s happened, you deserve it.
