Yesterday, disgraced Fyre Fest huckster Billy McFarland offered the model’s IP and rights on eBay for $245,300. Whereas that looks like a good chunk a change, particularly for an occasion synonymous for by no means truly occurring, McFarland was noticeably bummed that the public sale didn’t fetch a better quantity.
“Rattling. This sucks, it’s so low,” McFarland lamented throughout a livestream broadcast within the remaining moments of the eBay public sale (through Billboard). The 33-year-old convicted felon put the Fyre model up for public sale after a purported seven-figure deal he had apparently fell by. On the time, McFarland stated, he was “accomplished enjoying video games,” including that, whoever buys Fyre “may have an consideration engine to launch festivals, do merch collabs, do insane pop-ups, run livestreams, or construct a media model.” McFarland has but to establish the individual behind the profitable eBay bid.
For McFarland’s half, he little doubt hoped for a a lot bigger buy worth provided that he owes greater than $20 million in restitution to the unique Fyre Pageant traders, in addition to thousands and thousands in again taxes, stemming from his 2018 conviction for federal wire fraud.
