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

      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
