$100 Million Lawsuit Filed Against Fyre Fest Co-Founders Ja Rule and Billy McFarland
Spin ^ | May 1, 2017 | Taylor Berman

Posted on 05/01/2017 6:35:38 AM PDT by Rebelbase

A prominent entertainment attorney has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Fyre Festival co-founders Ja Rule and Billy McFarland, alleging fraudulent behavior that cost attendees “thousands of dollars on travel, lodging, and time off work.”

Mark Geragos, whose clients have included Michael Jackson, Winona Ryder, and Chris Brown, is representing Daniel Jung, who paid $2,000 to attend the festival.

The Wrap reports that the suit describes the post-apocalyptic hell festival goers discovered upon arriving on the island Thursday in detail, including mentions of the “FEMA relief tents” and the lack of security. Also included in the suit is the now-viral photo of the cheese sandwich given to at least one attendee instead of the catered food promised by organizers.

Reminds me of the scene in “Near Dark” in which Bill Paxton’s vampire character strolls down the bar after gorging on terrified patrons, smiles, and as he sucks blood off his fingers, says “Finger-lickin’ good!” Great movie.

The tents are nice, but not ‘luxury accommodations’, no bathrooms, not even port-a-potties.

The caterers and other vendors pulled out for lack of pay.................

Those tents look pretty cool. Kind of like yurts.

I tend to camp out 20-30 nights a year and am always on the lookout for new gear. Those look cool as a base camp type tent, but they also look heavy and probably somewhat time consuming to set up.

Most of my tents can set up or take down in about 5 minutes, in the dark, when it’s raining and 35 mph winds.
