    I think if you’re taking money and you’re having to borrow from new investors to pay old ones that doesn’t put you in a OK category like you’re crime is less harsh than someone that blew the money on Ferraris and gold Cuban chains. Because that money still a loss the point is the pretense

    @ButyoucancallmeKat Před 11 měsíci

    Man Billy is a trip! I honestly don’t know if he really believes the things he says! I would love for him to do an interview where they actually challenge what he says! Oh you said that you don’t have to pay back ticket costs because most of them did charge backs? Well… doesn’t mean you get to keep that money. The credit cards are now going after you. And oh you are upset and blaming Fuck Jerry for not honoring your… fake contract to use the footage without your permission? Yeah dude you didn’t pay for that footage, it isn’t yours anymore. Fuck Jerry lost a shit ton of money doing that job and yeah reselling their product to Netflix is a darn good way to recoup costs. You can’t fault a company for not paying YOUR bills after you didn’t pay THEIR bill! I cannot understand how people like this don’t realize that money still has value when it is not currently owned by them. He is literally just paying off his investors because they are the only ones big enough to make life hard for HIM and he wants to be on their good side! That being said I totally want him to do Fyre Festival 2. I loved that documentary and I need me a sequel! And lets be honest, that dude could have turned his life around and does everything perfectly for the festival of a lifetime and attendees are still gonna burn that thing to the ground. People aren’t going for a nice music festival, they are there to witness a train wreak. If that train doesn’t wreak then they are gonna wreak it themselves. And I am gonna have popcorn and watch!
