Not content to rip off the attendees, he defrauded investors as well:

Billy McFarland was arrested Friday. Federal prosecutors accused McFarland of promising a "'life changing' music festival," when instead he delivered "a disaster."

"McFarland allegedly presented fake documents to induce investors to put over a million dollars into his company and the fiasco called the Fyre Festival," the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York said in a statement. "Thanks to the investigative efforts of the FBI, McFarland will now have to answer for his crimes."

McFarland was arrested Friday in New York City and was expected to appear before a judge Saturday.

His punishment should be reliving the disaster everyday.

 

[polyh3dron]

I need to make sense of all this.

His punishment should be reliving the disaster everyday.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

It's always good to hear when some frat boy looking "entrepreneur" gets busted by some federal agents.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Man, Mueller really is leaving no stone unturned.

Holy shit at that wild change in numbers he made.

 

[louiedog]

I wonder how lunch in jail compares.

 

[commedieu]

I don't see how you thought you'd get away with it. I don't understand people that go overboard.

Just steal a little like Trump. Build that up over time.

 

[JeffZero]

Let's just go to jail and be criminals.

[Fury451]

He fell into a burning ring of Fyre

 

[BotoxAgent]

Can we arrest Kendall Jenner too?

 

[Discotheque]

Lmao in this case what about ja is a question we should all be asking

 

[Dead Man]

So... attendees get fucked, and *shrug*, investors get fucked and charges? I know there's details I'm ignoring, just seems like it always takes it impacting the corporate entities before it's taken seriously.

Edit: Bah, ignore this post, just cranky and it's cold.

 

[Hierophant]

Why is that fucking stock price so funny to me holy shit

"well he said he has two million dollars but actually he had about twenty bucks plus some burger king coupons"

 

[erlim]

How does all effect next year's Fyre Fest?

 

[B-Dubs]

 

[Falchion]

Following the Fyre Festival train wreck has been one of the wildest things this year, bet they're not going to have round 2 in the States now.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

This guy has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen. Goddamn.

Now when do they come for Ja?

 

[spiderman123]

Dude scammed people and his workers. Telling them they still employed but not getting paid. Wtf is that nonsense

 

[Gattsu25]

Where's Ja.

Chappelle reference aside...
Maybe I'm misremembering this but isn't Ja Rule's involvement the same as Kendall Jenner's?

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Wasn't Ja's involvement bigger? He promised there would be pornstar levels of fucking.

Dumb Jenner pulled a Dumb Jenner just like with Pepsi and the t shirt fiasco. IG models will take the cash to promote any crap with no questions asked. (That's gonna bite them in their Instagram Asses soon enough though.)

Revenge's Josh Bowman for the inevitable Lifetime TV movie version.

Ja Rule and McFarland seem close as seen by this joint Fox Business interview 2 years ago.

Watch the first 40 seconds to see Ja's description of Hip Hop.

Mofo looks like a PS2 GTA model. Scamming schemes and all
