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
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Looks at Trump supporters. Plenty of dumbasses out there.
And there it is; Politics!
Yay…
What a relief! For a minute there I thought there was going to be a post where someone didn’t drag politics into it.
/s
Yeah, right! American politics is just fun on the bun!!!
Documentaries don’t generally get sequels, but here’s hoping enough dumbasses buy in so Netflix/Hulu can do another set.
So bad it got two documentaries at the same time. Legend.
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.”
He has followers.
Just, wow.
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
Fraud: not just for politicians! Whee.
The guy that said he was coerced to suck a dick for water is back onboard too.
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.
I just looked and Ja Rule apparently isn’t on board this time.
No ja is a no for me
Watching that shitshow unfold live was one of my top moments of old reddit / twitter.
Mine was the feeling of pride and accomplishment after watching reddit gangbang an EA representative get down voted into oblivion
Haha, “sense of accomplishment”.
“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.
Why would you ever relaunch it, though?
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.
And even more politics, fun fun fun…
The only reason this would make sense to do is if the penalty of fraud is outweighed by the benefit.
Pride.
Those sweet royalties from the Netflix exposé docs, maybe.
Can’t wait for the cheese sandwich.
The only way he stops this is if a bunch of hipsters go there ironically to have the worst time ever.
If someone ironically pays me $8000, I’m still $8000 richer
We should all go and crash it.
Gotcha, pack Molotovs.
Marshmallows. Pack marshmallows. It’ll catch fire on its own.
It’s always good to be prepared.
Fyrefest 2: Electric Boogaloo
Can’t wait for the documentary on netflix
Electrycfest
All this tells me that it is easy to grift people with too much money.
I mean, it’s one
bananaFestival, Michael. What could it cost? 8000 dollars?
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.
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.
They’ll stop beating that dead horse when it stops spitting out money
Just waiting for the token drop 😂
Sorry, don’t give this any attention. It’s a scam and everyone knows it.
