Billy McFarland is a modern day P.T. Barnum, combined with a little Bernie Madoff.
Of course, it's pretty hard to feel sorry for anyone in this story, except maybe for the people who worked for McFarland, and thinking they were doing something worthwhile and important.
Billy McFarland, while out on bail, got into selling bogus tickets to events like a meet and greet with Taylor Swift (who never does "meet and greets"). Now he's facing a whole slew of new charges.
Towards the end of that film, somebody said that once McFarland gets out of jail, he'll be on to his next scheme. I don't doubt for a minute that suckers will continue to fall for it.
