You see, Rainforest, that was bad while it was going on, afterwards people were out a few hundred dollars. Fyre Festival on the other hand, nearly left an entire festival worth of people starved and stranded afterwards, and got the guy who started it in jail. Honestly, that's even worse then Fallout 76.

What I like the most about Historians take on all of these stories is the somewhat grounded view of human behaviour and energy spent to uncover the truth. He goes time and time again out of his way to point out the opposite of what general lies and social narrative would have us believe. 1200$, all expenses paid for a a 2 week trip in the bahamas does sound like a great deal. Not all of the party goers were rich entitled brats. Alot of them were tricked by what appeared to be a great deal. Same for the cruise ship concordia.

So update time. Billy DID end up going to jail. He was found guilty of two counts of wire fraud in 2018, and sentenced to six years in federal prison. But on March 30, 2022, he was released early, having only spent about four years behind bars. He spent another few months in community confinement, but as of September 2022, he's fully a free man. He's recently been quoted saying that he's considering starting a new company. "Something tech-based." Keep in mind that Billy has a life-long ban on serving as the director of a public company. And he still owes ~$25 million in damages to his victims (his wages will be garnished until he pays it back. Which will probably be never). But he claims that he's going to pay it all back. Presumably with whatever get-rich-quick scheme he's cooking up. (SIDE BAR: After Fyre Festival went down, Billy started a company called NYC VIP and started selling tickets to all sorts of VIP events. Did Billy have the tickets? Of course not. The Oscars, the Met Gala, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Master's Tournament, Hamilton, etc. You name it, he tried to sell it. Keep in mind, this is all while he was being investigated for fraud. He obviously got caught and charged, which possibly added to his prison sentence. But since he only got 6 years and served 4, maybe it didn't.) EDIT: Billy is now trying to start a new service called PYRT which is supposed to be some kind of VR thing? Some people are calling it virtual Fyre Festival... I don't know. And in April of 2023, he made a cryptic post to social media claiming that Fyre Festival II is officially happening with no additional details or context. Seems like he's back at it ladies and gentlemen. EDIT 2: August 2023, and Billy has begun selling tickets for Fyre Festival 2, which he claims will happen in the Caribbean towards the end of 2024.

I was watching the Netflix documentary on the festival a few years ago and I remember hearing the other organizers talk about how the only condition the owners of Norman's Cay had put on the marketing team was "DO NOT mention Pablo Escobar" and then it cutting to the promo footage where the literal second sentence was something along the lines of "Spend 2 weeks on a private island... Once owned by Pablo Escobar" I'm pretty sure there was a palm shaped imprint in my forehead for the next few days
