    --------
    Billy McFarland, co-founder of the infamous Fyre Festival, revealed shocking details about the event's ticket sales and his partnership with rapper Ja Rule. Speaking with Vlad, McFarland reflected on their exorbitant ticket prices, which ranged up to $500,000. Initially put up as a joke, these packages astonishingly sold out within hours. McFarland acknowledged the small-scale “mini Fyre Festivals” they hosted, which were pivotal in attracting affluent attendees from the finance and tech world. However, they failed to transition to a large-scale event. Ja Rule, who had invited Vlad to the festival, stopped responding to calls as the event neared, facing widespread logistical issues and critical failures, such as inadequate housing and essential supplies.

      What criminal damage did the attendees suffer, beyond broken egos and not getting good social media pics? This was more of a civil crime with money damages if anything. Does a hotel get criminal charges and jail for showing clean great pics and then you show up and it’s a dump? Usually when you lose money on a purchase it’s more civil than criminal issue. We do have to research before we spend money on something and can’t trust what someone tells us

      @@FrankGallagher1700 the jail had nothing to do with the festival itself or damages to attendees. The jail was due to wire fraud for deceiving investors to take their money ($27 mil) to put into his fyre festival company. That was a completely separate issue not part of the festival performance itself.
