Depressingly enough, I think that is what passes as charismatic for young millennials these days.
He’s just a good salesman but I wouldn’t call it charisma or I guess it is a certain type of charisma. He’s just a total bullshite artist.
I liked how the Netflix doc tied together the facade of social media to the festival fraud. Really interesting social commentary.
Feel bad for some of the people he scammed. Some of those people really got burned, esp mentally.

Chris Jericho dropped an episode of his podcast Talk Is Jericho yesterday and it was an interview with the Austin guy who was all over the Hulu doc and he basically spilled his whole experience to Jericho in the interview. It’s a good listen I listened to it on the treadmill yesterday. Pretty short too, only about 45 minutes.

Nice subtle brag

Well the length of the episode was 51 minutes. If anything I sold myself short by 6 minutes.

Nice time to bump this since Ja Rule announced he’s trying to make another Fyre Fest dude won’t stop until he’s in jail

Billy is the best representation of them where he party and procrastinate on the real work until it was too late. He thought he could just slap on any date and the job would be done. He thought he could put on a music festival in 4 months. He just thought everything would work out even though all the signs are pointing to it is all fricked up.
No, he didn't. He knew he couldn't pull it off, but he didn't have the money to give back.
He's a sociopath, but there's no indicating he's delusional.

I strongly disagree. There’s evidence pointing to the contrary, with all the vendors they paid to help facilitate the event. I mean they actually had Pablo Escobar’s island at first. Like the other poster said, he thought he could do everything last minute and that things would somehow magically be fine. He’s a true millenial and a prime example of everything that’s wrong with them. Using funds and resources that you didn’t earn, have this grand idea and think it must come to fruition without any effort because your parents coddled you growing up. And lastly, not being considerate of others.
The most fricked up thing to me is he was able to go upstate and spend his prison time at a country club.

Whatever you want to call it, he's a leader that people followed. I couldn't have taken that scam that far.

The millenial comments are highly confused.
1. The documentary did a fantastic job of illustrating how slick instagram marketing with models and celebs and can make millenials blindly open up their pocket books
2. But Billy McFarland is not your typical millenial. Hei si your typical sociopath. They've been around since the beginning of time. Nothing he did was specific to millenials other than the aforesaid marketing schmeme on instagram.

At that time, I'm sure he thought he could pull it off.
But week out? Two weeks out? Three weeks out? Heck, even a month out. He knew whatever he was gong to pull off would be a shell of what was promised.

Again, no. It's a con artist/ sociopath. He didn't do anything that hasn't been done before thousands of times over throughout history. You're conflating issues.

Sadly, I think the only people who didn't get what they deserved were probably those models.
They've been subpoenaed.
I hope Hailey Baldwin doesn't get in trouble. I'd miss seeing those legs on "Drop The Mic"

Actual festival organizers said they would need a year to 18 months to pull it off

Why did you just reply to me 3 different times quoting the same things? Can’t get your thoughts together?

I am watching the Netflix doc. I hate pretty much every single person in the documentary minus the hot girls
I don't know if he deserves to be liked, but Marc Weinstein came off well for just shite talking the entire thing

Bumping this. I watched both the Netflix and Hulu back to back, and the Netflix one was much better.
The Hulu one was more of an insight into why Billy is a con-artist, which I don’t really care about. I went in not knowing anything and lost my shite at the dick-sucking for water scene
