So you may remember a couple of years ago that the clown behind Fyre Festival was threatening to do it again? He’s making good on that threat, apparently:
For the morbidly curious and/or easily fooled music fan with anywhere from $1,400 to $1.1 million to spare, tickets for Fyre Festival II are on sale now.
Billy McFarland, the convicted fraudster behind the infamous first Fyre Festival, finally revealed the details for his grand second attempt, which will apparently take place May 30 to June 2 on Isla Mujeres in Mexico. The announcement Monday, Feb. 24, came with the all-caps header on social media: “Fyre Festival 2 is Real” — which is the kind of tag line that might have people asking a lot of questions already answered by the “Fyre Festival 2 is Real” tag line.
“I’m sure many people think I’m crazy for doing this again,” McFarland said, pointing out the obvious, in a statement. “But I feel I’d be crazy not to do it again. After years of reflection and now thoughtful planning, the new team and I have amazing plans for Fyre 2. The adventure seekers who trust the vision and take the leap will help make history.”
I don’t think anyone thinks Billy is crazy; a convicted fraud and scammer who should’ve been banned from ever doing this bullshit again, yes, but not crazy. The only crazy people here are the one who’ll spend money on this (cos you know someone will) expecting it to work this time. None of my questions from my previous post about where the money from this is coming from and why isn’t he using it to clear his existing debt first have been answered, obviously, and there is apparently a new question about whether or not Billy will even be able to go himself cos even he’s not sure he’s legally allowed to leave the US. Still, if all else fails as it probably will, Mushroom Cock will probably get Billy a job in tourism or something similar; grift recognises grift…
