Vincent Van Gogh advisable in the budding day to treat their creative activities like a flame: “You should never let the fire go out in your soul,” he said, “but keeping it burning.”
Billy McFarland, a criminal whose so-called creative activities cost the victims of the millions of dollars, burned a lot along the way. His festival of infinite fyre at the international level and infinitely memed in 2017, now cultural stenosis for Hubris of the Elite, was a scam that sent Mr. McFarland to prison for almost four years.
Pending the conviction in the Fyre Festival case, Mr. McFarland launched a VIP ticket service which promised tickets to users that he had not had events like the Broadway musical “Hamilton” and the Met Gala.
In recent months, Mr. McFarland had pivoted the Festival 2, a moderately mediocre redemption attempt, at the Fyre Festival 2. This effort – perhaps for all those who have optimistic about the tickets at exorbitant prices (ranging from $ 1,400 to $ 1.1 million) – seems to be finished before it even begins. Playa del Carmen, the city of Mexico which, according to Mr. McFarland, would host the event, snubbed it publicly, claiming that there was no file of the festival and that it would not be organized on its coast.
Now, a month before the Fyre Festival 2 was to start, Mr. McFarland extinguishes his fyre for good: he announced that he would sell the brand and all its external signs to the most offering.
“This brand is larger than any person,” McFarland said on Wednesday in a press release published on Instagram. “It is clear that I have to step back and allow a new team to advance independently.”
