After numerous films, NFTs and memes, you probably thought you'd heard the last of the legally inconsequential scam of epic proportions that was 2017's Fyre Festival. That, my friend, was wishful thinking — because now the notorious messtival's founder has claimed that "Fyre Festival II" is happening.
Tech bro, Chainsmokers-looking motherfucker and convicted con artist Billy McFarland is plotting perhaps the most unnecessary of all unnecessary sequels, although the first Fyre Fest arguably never really happened.
The fraudster, who got an early release from prison last year, recently took to Twitter to share the news (and/or use the powers of manifestation in the worst imaginable way).
"Fyre Festival II is finally happening," McFarland tweeted yesterday (April 10). "Tell me why you should be invited."
Gotta hand it to his delusion for continuing to upsell the event as an "exclusive" luxury experience even though it's almost certain everyone would like to be excluded!
McFarland served four years of a six-year sentence after pleading guilty to charges of scamming ticket buyers and defrauding investors. He was fined $26 million USD and has vowed to repay Fyre Festival attendees with "something tech-based."
