Why didn't they just have the cruise ship be the hotel and use the island to party during the day? Solves almost all the logistics with a line item expense and nobody is angry at partying on a boat. That could have solved a great majority of the problem.

Then again, the leadership green lit a 38 million dollar half brain idea when the talent was less than 10% of tthat. Approved 35 million of stuff and couldn't even buy enough bottled watered.
You can rent an entire cruise ship for a million bucks a week. Make it really luxury for 2-3 million. Youre at 7 million with the festival talent. Spend 5 million on festival stuff on the island and outsource a lot of it to third party vendors that want access to this elite party anyways.

12 million while overpaying.

1000 * $10,000 packages. 10 million.

Still a loss but they were trying to pimp the Fyre brand. So consider it a marketing expense. And it could have gone off as a luxury booze cruise like Yacht week.

Charge more or spend less and it breaks even.

These guys got way too attached to this arbitrary tent idea.
didn't have the money for any of it
robbing paul to pay peter
that is why

I felt bad for that restaurant owner lady who gpt ducked over. She seemed like a nice genuine hard working person and those amateur cunts scammed her big time

Same! My wife told me there was a kickstarter for her that raised a gang of money for her though that restored some of my faith in humanity.

I just watched it
what a total shitshow...that guy is fucking slime bag
basically it was about gullible millennials being conned by a millennial+ some dipshit old investors
His interview was hardly an interview, just him going dark when they asked the hard questions

Loved the Bartender's perspective

wish it showed more footage from the actual festival itself

Netflix one comes out tomorrow, I will watch that one also

Fuck Jerry was interesting and the social Media brainwash aspect was also enlightening

Ja Rule is an absolute moron
My wife and I just watched it last night, we'll probably watch the Netflix one now. When the credits were rolling she's asks me "who's that guy (Oren Aks), he's the only one that was decent."

Then they read the statement from FuckJerry and cut to Oren saying "Whatever. Fuck those guys."
We laughed and High-Fived


But IIRC, Vice/Jerry Media were involved in the Netflix one...but I could have misunderstood.

Part of me says that the people involved in making this "festival" at the highest levels knew that this wasn't going to fly and they should sued/charged for their part in it.

Part of me also looks at the people who went and says it's almost justice they got scammed on something so luxuriously frivolous. The people going had every intent on bragging about the event on social media to those not there.

So I'm kinda divided about punishing those who screwed this and smiling slightly and those who got scammed.

Oh...and Ja Rule is a moron.

I am pretty sure the dual documentaries are/were a marketing plan...there are many ties between the two production teams
Create a fake buzz by releasing a story about HULU beating Netflix to the punch

get morons to make forum threads about it etc...and get folks to watch at least one, probably both

that only makes sense for Jerry Media if you get your side out first. Burn up all the social capital talking about a narrative where Jerry Media has a small role or is maybe even a victim...unless Hulu hit a double-cross by putting out there doc first.

all I know is any press is good press for video content in this competitive and saturated market
these docs were perfect to attract those who just wanted to see the complete shitshow
see ya at the Arizona Frye Festival, I got two $55,000 sweets
