Fyre Festial is one of the most notoriously awful events of all time after about five documentaries were made about how its organiser Billy McFarland literally didn’t have a clue what was going on and stole about $30 million off his investors and subjected everyone with a ticket to an experience akin to going to prison in a third world country. Or at least that’s what some of the influencers who showed up said, not sure how much we can believe them though.

Anyway, I think it’s been well documented that Billy was sent to jail for fraud for a few years but was recently released and is now working on some kind of scheme called PYRT, but yesterday he decided to tweet that he was setting up a sequel to Fyre Festival and the internet couldn’t resist ripping him to shreds. Here are a few of the best responses:
🔥 Fyre Festival II is finally happening.
Tell me why you should be invited.

Because there’s no way venture capital funding will screw me over three times in a row 🙏 https://t.co/Ofa49nVaoM

There exists people dumb enough to give him their money again. And they will get what they deserve. https://t.co/fxPSPnwHWa

It would perhaps be better to beg not to attend? https://t.co/9CUHS2BjW5

The funniest part of this tweet is “tell me why you should be invited”
Look, inmate number 91186-054, I think you should accept that the power dynamics here have shifted and it is you who needs to make the proactive case. https://t.co/oAVzdqF448

Wow they’re really going through a whole range of jokes there with the majority of them actually being very good for once. Of course, all these people are completely right and anyone trusting Billy McFarland again and heading over to Fyre Festival II – or anything else that he’s involved in – probably deserves to lose all their money or whatever they’ve invested in it. Don’t be one of those guys.
For more of the same, check out when the ‘Take One For The Team Guy’ from Fyre Festival got his own show. Whatever happened to that?
