imagine you haven't eaten all day and the only thing to cure the (hunger) shakes is fucking tequila lol.
$500 with EVERYTHING included on a private island for 2 weeks?!?! That sounds like an excerpt from a Nigerian prince scam.

This entire situation is made 10x worse by the fact that now Billy's out of prison he's decided that the best course of action is to do Fyre festival 2.0

I'm sure someone will be profiting from the next documentary
Darn it, He's make a Frye Festival 2: Electric Boogaloo..

> free tequila
Oh boy that sure sounds like a great idea
Sounds like a university's party.
Rule of thumb, NEVER drink on an empty stomach. You WILL vomit up more than just the booze.
We are hungry and there’s no food for us
Ok uhhh oh have this free tequila
But this isn’t food this is a alcoholic beverage
Yes and?
We are hungry and you gave us alcohol
Yea is there a problem?
@@crysisrevelation6132 Also never drink in hot weather.
@@salvatoremaglione6398 indeed. Same goes for cold weather too. Too often people have died in the cold when they should have survived because they thought drinking alcohol will warm themselves up. Spoiler alert; it does the exact opposite!

The pit.
A ball pit so epic it can be recognized anywhere.
@Allwesucks :3 For the price it should be trademarked.
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. While he did have a giggle at the captain's expense, he

@@oldsalt8011 fuck are you talking about
👯👯👯👯👯👯👯👯
It wasn't all his fault? He alone created the disaster and acted cowardly, the others were only doing damage control.
@Nick I'm talking about the dipshit captain of the 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.
Just want to say I appreciate the diligence of these updates
Imagine you're working at the American Embassy in the Bahamas and all of a sudden dozens of your countrymen show up who look like they've been human-trafficked there.
*hundreds
You may honest to christ believe they were.
Having guarded an Embassy before, if these people had come up to me and told me that they'd been kidnapped and dragged there by a drug cartel on a boat, I'd probably have believed them lmfao
Like damn this is just kinda unbelievable ngl
Phosphoros I mean......They basically were.
Probably had more calls that week than the last decade combined lol
This was the best episode of Total Drama Island
omg
Amen brother
Now this comment is funny
I could 100% see Chris Maclain doing this on purpose for the fun of it lol
Oh my god 💀
You may be thrilled or disappointed to hear Billy tried to start another event called Pyrate
At least the title is honest
Billy must really hate the letter “I,” huh?
@@lukejensen9933 Remember: "'I' am not responsible or taking any of the blame for this event."
@@lukejensen9933there is no "i" in business
With the imminent release of the critically acclaimed sequel, Fyre Festival 2, can we expect on the scene, boots to the ground, first person gameplay?
"...we got hit by a big storm."
A storm called "Failure".
Yes.
candiigurl7893 precisely
Lol
A shitstorm
candiigurl7893 a failure like Billy McFarland
By far the best season of survivor
Nah man, this was the Total Drama live action movie.
Nikki L Billy even reminds me of Chris McLean
Ikr
Can’t believe they made lost a real thing
Probably the most entertaining.
Billy just got out of jail and immediately announced another fyre festival
let see how many retard would give him another chance then
He can't go back to the Bahamas to do it, since its a ban and iirc he'll get automatically arrested if he even thinks he could go back
Guess who's back
Back again
Billy's back

This is the Fallout 76 of music festivals.
I'd like to see Todd organise a festival, it'd probably be in some place with loads of bugs lololololololol (dab).
Jozinek good candidate would be the Amazon Rainforest, smack dab on a bullet-ant mound.
@@Mikewolv007 it'd be good for an irl battle royale mode too
@@Mikewolv007 Well you see, it's more about what the aftermath is like, right? Fallout 76, make a bad video game? Okay, that isn't too abnormal. Making the game, and then having the complete mess that occured afterwards with the canvas bags, Nuka-Cola glasses, and all the other stuff. That's bad. 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.
Owen Walters no, I was talking about the actual Amazon rainforest, the one that’s currently on fire; not Rainfurrest.
Giving hungry people stuck ina very hot climate without water TEQUILA is a goddamn health hazard. The irresponsibility is just incredible, it's a miracle nobody died
me who lives in Finland and drinks beer in the sauna regularly *looks around nervously*
@@TheAkwarium Nah man, a beer or two in the Sauna is one thing. Not too much alcohol to dehydrate ya plus you probably have access to drinkable water should you require it. Idk because I'm not you lmao but you get me.
This on the other hand........whooo, that'd be something else. Constant 90+ degree (F°) weather, hundreds of people just standing about, high-alcohol tequila. . . . .
They're just asking for someone to die of heat stroke.
@@Eye_Of_Odin978 "one or two beer" "access to water" I don't think you've ever drunk with Finn's in a sauna mate lol
@@TheAkwarium Beer is generally 5% alcohol, give or take. Tequila is typically in the ballpark of a 30-40% alcohol.
They're not the same thing at all.
@@stormisuedonym4599 yes, but once you drink 7 or 8 beers it's not 5% anymore. I personally know people who've almost died in a sauna because they got so drunk on Juhannus (Finnish Midsummer) in a sauna
In an alternate universe, Fyre Festival was everything it advertised and it truly was the best 2 weeks of some people's lives
The first fyre festival was OUT OF THIS WORLD and I can't wait for the sequel that will no doubt somehow manage to top off the first one in every way! Best of luck Billy, we believe in you!
*In a prison somewhere*
Prisoner: I robbed a bank. Why are you here?
Billy: well you see
It's kinda an original story, at least, I'll give him that 😂😂
Me and Ja Rule were coked up at a club ...
He's not even worth the trouble if picks up the soap.
"i didn't do anything wrong"
My uncle is in jail for embezzlement and even he was cracking up at what a flop Fyre Fest was
Update: apparently Billy McFarland is writing a book about this disaster and amazingly planning another Fyre Festival after his prison sentence is over. I think he has fully gone insane while behind bars.
Or he's just a sociopath: The Hulu Doc (which has him being interviewed surprisingly enough) has him either attempting to justify his behavior or said nothing when asked about his scammy behavior.
Maybe he's playing the long scam.
I mean all that matters is who dies with the most money, right?
@@Chipiliro613 all that matters is who lives with the most money.
This time he'll include a ball pit
Jozinek I hope so.
I'm only excited for Fyre Festival 2 because it just means another Internet Historian video for me
I like how paying Kendall Jenner to tweet about it cost more than the festival.
50 Million
Alejandro Reyes 50 million was the expected budget of the festival. They didn’t even come near that when they organised it.
Billy McFarland got jailed. The customers got scam of their money and experienced fatigue. The social media celebrities like Kendall Jenner gets more richer. As for me, I laugh at people willing to pay a lot of money to fly to an island and just listen to music.

Fyre Festival 2: Electric Boogaloo
It's worth mentioning that they did actually rent out Norman's Cay, but the owners expressly forbid them from mentioning Pablo Escobar, which Billy started doing almost immediately, causing the contract to be cancelled.
How did such a dumbass become a self made millionaire?
@@nightmarefanatic1819 Powerful, rich connections. The way most "self made millionaires" come about.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 it's like shovelin the yard of your old lady neighbor as a kid. Instead of a few bucks, it's a few millions.

@@Proserpira It belonged to Carlos Lehder, actually.

boi oh boi we are getting a part 2 for this
I just heard about it, and I came straight back here!
Who’s ready for part 2?
For anyone who’s wondering about Billy.
On October 11, 2018, McFarland was sentenced to six years in federal prison. McFarland is currently incarcerated at FCI Elkton, in Lisbon, Ohio.
Only 6?
@@atomicrenegade8194 he pleaded guilty, that's why I guess
Lukai I guess, but that still feels light
Atomic Renegade I agree, especially since it seems like you could count each individual ticket bought as a separate charge of fraud
I hope he's someone's bitch
Bill was an idiot for losing Norman’s Cay, but imagine the same shitstorm happening except on a private island. No taxis, no neighboring resorts, no nearby help. Just you, a lost crowd, and FEMA tents on an isolated island.
It'd have been like Woodstock. For real, because somebody would've had to deploy military forces to prevent that shit from killing a bunch of people.
I think calling him an idiot is a compliment to him, and an insult to all idiots. 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
Lord of the Flies
Well... It'll be a bigger story
All they have is one Conch Shell
"Let's please have at least one failed festival that has a sequel"
With the recent news of Fyre Festival 2, I imagine the Internet Historian is a happy boy right about now.
So, y’all ready for round 2?
Even without an arrangement to not talk about Pablo Escobar, how exactly is "Once owned by Pablo Escobar" good advertising?
Probably because he’s rich and telling people that a rich man owned the island

I can’t wait for the Internet Historian to make a sequel to this!
Everyone got lied to, but the rich celebs got to walk out while everyone else got to suffer. God, the microcosm...
Montesama314 at least Billy was locked up for six years.
@@KingdomOfApple shoul have been put against the wall
Same things happens with the california fires, every celebs got the heads up while regular people are stuck in the fire.
Well I think some of the influencers did get sued for promoting it. A lawyer changed the rules of marketing to force them to take some responsibility for the graft. The huludoc has the information
Celebs have managers and lawyers who investigated. Fyre attempted too lie to the celebs, too.
LOL they paid $1,200 for a refugee camp experience.
nah refugees have it way better
Did you not watch the video? Most people didn’t spend that much money.
Papa Christ he said in the video that prices were around $1,200 and that some prices were as low as $500
For $1,200 that still too expensive lol
Kevin Hanandi I mean if the festival was ACTUALLY how it was supposed to be, $1,200 is actually insanely cheap
There are reports that Fyre Festival 2 tickets are on sale and the event will happen in the Caribbean sometime in 2024.
Prepare the sequel, Fire Trashtival II just dropped.
These people who think $500 will bring them THAT much pleasure is the same people who fell for "hot singles in your area"
Wait, there aren't hot singles in my area?
I mean, yeah. Still, it sucks they were scammed like this.
To be fair hot singles in my area aren't promoted by celebrities who have images to keep.
But you must agree that hot singles definitely are in your area, its just that you won't reach out to them via a virus ad
@@TheGreenTaco999 Yes. You.
Ja Rule: "I truly apologize because this is NOT MY FAULT."
You can't argue with logic like that.
Ja Rule clearly stated that it was a social experiment NOT A SCAM and most of all NOT he's FAULT. What a douche.
That's why 50 cent stay roasting him.
To be honest . i like that social experiment idea. i wouldnt be surprised if it was true. give rich millenials a glimpse into the life of a refugee whilst they spend the rest of their life in a privileged bubble of over indulgence and opulence.
Translation: I am at fault
love him or hate him, he's spittin straight facts
This video is going to need a sequel soon, because of how he announced Fyre Festival 2.
PART 2 SOON!!!
The best thing about this guy partying is that he basically was some dude who won the tickets and went there for free, he had no expectations and found the hordes of influencers and such totally miserable absolutely hilarious

I don't even use YT that much yet I still see your comments everywhere. So you blatantly spend all day commenting on videos. Just admit that you have no social life and you sponge off the government and/or your parents. I bet you fucking stink as well.
Bruce William lmfao ok. I'm in college and I don't work so all I do is school, hangout and watch CZcams. It's not that difficult to take time out of my day and comment on good quality videos. but hey believe whatever your mind can come up with my guy
Bruce William He's actually an AI implemented by the government to understand how citizens act on a day to day basis. Don't piss it off.
Now that Billy Mcfarland is out, he's already considering plans for Fyre Festival 2. Wonder what kind of mess that will be.
The funniest thing is that Billy is now out of prison & seeking to do another Fyre Festival, except now its called Pirate
Part of what makes this series so good is that he’s not screaming or freakin out. His calm demeanor makes the crimes somehow so much worse.
Look up fascinating horror. He explains fucking tragedies and deadly accidents with a calm monotone and factual voice.
@@kratek56 atrocity guide is the evolution of that whole genre
but fascinating horror teaches you that you will very likely die like the mariners in that scene from *The Terror* where everyone gets trapped in a tent during a fire and people have to be cut open to make an escape route. don't go inside of anywhere
@@kratek56 That's how it should be. It's professional and factual. I watch the show Forensic Files in German and the voice is like that.

They should of known it was too good to be true for 500 dollars. No way on planet earth that covers 2 weeks of concerts, gourmet food, luxury hotels, top notch security, and hot women
Shit, $1200 isn't enough for two weeks in a niceish hotel in the middle of nowhere. Say nothing of airfare.
True, just the other day I was pricing tickets to Bonaroo, and yeah, no way am I paying $1000 for 3 days of doing acid with hippies (acid not included in price) in Tennessee just to see Bassnectar lol.
We all know that there are no hot singles in our area.
Especially hot women! I think that most of them got what they bargained for... Hmmm, this expression fits perfectly :)
in my shitty eastern european country 4 days of festival ticket costs $100, and all you get is tent spot. you have to bring your tent, buy food and everything. and its hold in literally in a recultivated factory complex (read, about 30-50cm of soil poured on top of a massive concrete plain and grass planted on it. 10 years ago it costed $30 and only locals went but because western tourist started flooding it cos everything was so cheap, pirces hiked up so much that locals cannot even afford to go...

That's one way to call a shitty field trip to the Carribean... 😂
Michael Atanasio I think it’s more that the celebs could sue for way more then normies and get way more support
Blatant nationalism: insinuating that an expensive resort town geared specifically to US nationals is somehow "dangerous foreign land" just because it is in a different country.

...Dude. Have you ever left the USA in your life?
Tourist locations are extra prolific in the kidnapping and human trafficking industry.
So many soft, naive first-worlders out in the big bad world...
Here before the sequel drops.
Now that Fyre festival 2 is happening , here's to another good video soon!
when youre so bad at parties they give you six years in prison lol
no. promising stuff to others and not coming through with them and lying, gets you 6 years in jail
AGlassOf Whine no. Promising stuff to RICH people and lying will give you 6 years in prison. He went to prison for frauding investors, not festival attendees.
...when you're so good at prison you get out after 18 months (just my prediction. I actually agree with you, but there's no way he'll spend 6 years behind bars)
That’s pretty good
He should have read Spongebob's "Plan Your Own Party Kit"
I like to imagine some journalist heard the term, “12 hundred dollars” and thought it meant 12,000
Considering the intellect and/or laziness of modern journalists, that's a very fair assumption.
Nothing like collective punishment, right?
"All journalists are lazy."
"All politicians are corrupt."
And most importantly, all CZcams commenters lash out at jobs they have no idea of.
@@JJSideshowBob no, all journalist are lazy leeches

@@nobodybw1962 Those "modern journalists" arent people. Most articles are written by AI now which is why is seems so low effort.
Back here for when IH's video on Fyre Festival 2 inevitability comes out.
sameee
@mattnut5752 Last time, it was dumbass Millennials, and this time, it'll be dumbass Gen Z'er's.
I'm so glad we're finally getting a part 2 :D
Anyone who hears "get on a plane and come to this cashless event" as "don't bring ANY cash in case you need something during any portion of your trip, or, you know, if SOMETHING STUPID happens" kinda deserve a FEMA tent and Kraft singles
I need to like your comment about 800x. Never go anywhere without cash or credit cards.
Even with cashless wristbands had I gone, I still would have had the common sense to bring cash and a credit card with me.
Didn't a ton of people have their stuff stolen? They probably had money in their bags but no locks on the lockers and a tent aren't the most secure things
Don’t forget that UNICEF rice.
Don't leave your country without cash, even if it has to be your home currency, and a credit card. -.-" Have these people never traveled?
I think you should've mentioned they actually HAD leased Norman's Cay but were kicked out when they had advertised it as once owned by Pablo, something the owners strictly forbid.
Also man, your video is linked on the Fyre Festival wikipedia.
Oh no these dumbasses
For those wondering, the wikipedia citing this video is true, its the 11’th source
Why would they forbid it if it wasn't true?
@@MisterSolitude George Jung was still a member of Escobar's cartel, so it still amounts to "hey, this island was once owned by rich drug dealers" - which was the image the new owners of the island were trying to disassociate themselves from. They allowed Fyre Festival to be hosted on the island, on the explicit condition that they didn't mention Escobar or anything related to him. Of course, the organizers completely ignored this request, and so they were kicked off the island.
@@MisterSolitude Norman cay was used as a refueling stop on the Caribbean route. So yes it did belong to Escobar regardless of what the paperwork says.
Rewatching in anticipation of Fyre Festival 2
The best timeline, Fyre Festival 2 DLC is released
"And VIP tickets to next year's Fyre Festival..."
*"NEXT YEAR?"*

@Ders snek in me boots heard that bob marley will be there either
Legend has it, that man is still there, partying
Amen
He's STILL the only one having fun 😂
GET READY FOR ROUND 2

Dashcon: we are going to be the worst convention ever!
Fyre festival: hold My beer...
Woodstock '99 and Altamont '69 drinking in the back: Amateurs!
Hansbald do we count conventions that failed because the attendees behaved like degenerates
Define "failing" - as a lot of people have mentioned, the furries may have behaved like complete degenerates and caused thousands of dollars in damage, but a lit party is a lit party!
Niels Bjørn Outzen Schmidt| What about Tanacon?
Lisa Ramirez this comment is 7 months old tana con was like two weeks ago
"I want to be an entrepreneur, so im going to drop out of college" and then your business has no idea how to do anything and fucking explodes. Call me crazy, a business degree might have helped.
Uh...you don't need half a brain, let alone a business degree, to see how things could go disastrously wrong. You just need BASIC math.
@BubbleGumWolfe This man approached this like a toddler.
Bro, all you needed was a 10 hour session on Stellaris to figure out basic organization
@BubbleGumWolfe not even a simple agricultural district smh
A business degree doesn't mean that one knows what he is doing. Look up DarkSydePhil, he is a Twitch streamer who has a business degree but has ran his channel to the bottom of the sea with business decisions that even a mouthbreather could see!
