Billy McFarland

The embattled founder assured fans that “the best” infrastructure and logistics are in place this time — and is planning a return to the Caribbean in 2024.
McFarland served four years in prison for duping investors and attendees of the ill-fated music fest.
The 30-year-old was given a six-year sentence after pleading guilty to wire fraud related to the festival disaster and for selling fake event tickets while out on bail.

A judge dubbed the 26-year-old a "serial fraudster" for scams that cost investors and ticket-holders millions.
Billy McFarland allegedly scammed people looking to attend the Met Gala and Coachella as he awaited sentencing on Fyre Festival-related charges.
