The Fyre Festival promised pristine water, beautiful people, luxury accommodations and a list of entertainment. But when festival goers arrived, they were met with disaster tents, soggy sandwiches and chaos.
Mcfarland plead guilty and served almost four years of a six-year sentence behind bars, which included two stints in solitary."I used to take pride in getting things done and not how things got done... and so I think going forward, the biggest thing for me is building relationships throughout the process. And whether they're a success or failure in the business sense, it's more about how it's done instead of taking pride in-- of this, like, by-all-means idea.
McFarland, who is now 30, is currently out of prison on supervised release and has roughly $26 million in restitution to pay investors, vendors and concertgoers. His earnings will be garnished until it's all been paid back."I know you said you were here to apologize, to say you're sorry. But you're also launching a new venture called 'Pirate.' Are you here to really apologize or are you here more to promote that?""Yep. So, I need to apologize.
