Billy McFarland, the organizer behind the disastrous Fyre Festival in 2017, is back with a new venture – Fyre Festival II. Despite spending four years in jail for his previous fraud, McFarland claims to have sold out all pre-sale tickets for the new festival. The original Fyre Festival was heavily promoted by supermodels and promised a luxury experience in the Bahamas, but ended up being a complete disaster. Guests were left stranded and cheated. The documentary on the event, released by Netflix, became a hit in 2019. McFarland’s earlier ventures, including an investment company and a black card membership club, also failed.
