hi there okay you're probably wondering how I got this town alright well let me tell you the story it begins with a man by the name of Billy McFarland Oh Billy was a good book at 22 he had dreams of becoming a super wet entrepreneur dropping out of college to start a business called Meg nieces lotta network with some powerful people all right one of them was ja rule translated from German I believe it means yes rule ok drinks he pitched an idea here's an accurate recreation of that event mr. rule precisely great minds think alike there will be two weeks of absolute luxury Jesus Christ okay sounds good [Music] promotion began in late 2006 okay fire promised beaches ladies gourmet food savory villas hosted on a private island in the Bahamas called fly Akane once owned by Pablo Escobar this is pretty cool tickets up to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars who the [ __ ] is gonna pay that much money for like this is it room I don't know man it seems like it's just gonna be such a [ __ ] show okay all right let's go keep on swimming pigs yeah blink-182 Wow your laser a steel drum okay welcome to five it's not Jurassic Park - damn weeks of your life I bought my ticket immediately how about that the day Orion I wish I got other people are making their way directly from my fun and there are huge delays to get to fire Kang although I shouldn't say if I okay because it doesn't exist in Romanian they referenced this island which was actually Norman's Cay run by George Jung not hablo by the way but that doesn't matter because we're not going there either we're going to Great Exuma private island yeah that [ __ ] ocean 7,000 in fact we're basically in the parking lot of a Sandals resort in the end only about 500 of us make achieve the remaining customers flights are canceled you're about to see - a school bus taken to the site and grab a lot with a bunch of FEMA tennis wait so is this is this actual real footage my wife went to school with the kid who did this you know what honestly man I think the guy who did this is like a national hero because all these dumb [ __ ] are gonna spend a bunch of money to go on some exclusive luxury cruise with Instagram influencers man [ __ ] them [ __ ] them dude if they're gonna let that happen yeah that's the way it goes dude that's the way it goes remember those promises of luxurious villas oh yeah yeah that's exciting and don't forget your complimentary cup of UNICEF rice UNICEF right once then no one knows whose tent belongs oh no by getting everyone into a line then they abandon that idea and tell everyone it's a free-for-all expecting a party this guy - a bowl of his drugs I'll be right over all right cool these are the only one having any fun everyone else the only guy partying five hours and there's no food no food stuff decide to start handing out tons of free tequila that's smart this only exacerbates problem yeah that makes it way better once the food does arrive it's just as delectable as promised oh my [ __ ] gourmet Kraft single down a few hours later bags of rice Jesus dude it was getting dark and there was no lighting this is like an apocalypse plenty of people had their luggage stolen don't worry if you have any valuables the fists will advertise top-notch security that's here it is for no entire guess they had to provide their own lock there are rumors of muggings by the locals oh my god him supposedly caught fire oh my was a rampant shark problem staff don't have any uniforms or walkie-talkies so no one knows who's in charge and the people who are that's gonna be nyet on talk to each other yes a bathroom mini staff quit after only a couple of I wonder why with a few customers who are willing to just make the most of it and enjoy all that is that they had some bad news too all of the major musical acts pulled out in fact Major Lazer wasn't even confirmed to go in the first place the event was promoted as cashless to all people had with these useless and disney bucks on their phone abandoned wouldn't buy anything will catch cabs they were stranded and even with only 500 people there are too few tents and beds so what was just swapping each other's and for any of you think this is this [ __ ] is [ __ ] great man this is [ __ ] great like oh yeah we're gonna go to some cashless resort with again a bunch of [ __ ] invoice or influencers like oh Jesus Christ man yeah this is an idiot tax this is like you've got like usually most stupid taxes are like a [ __ ] you know like I dislike 55 year old woman walks in the the convenience store with like her hand and she's like this is my lucky day and ring him up ring him up Scotty and Scotty pulls out you know her favorite lottery tickets and she takes her [ __ ] Social Security check and she spends on [ __ ] lottery tickets and cigarettes and you know that that's what it is and it's like you don't ever expect rich people to be this [ __ ] stupid but sometimes they can be even more stupid I'm pretty sure you know Sharon you know that's trying to buy lottery tickets at the [ __ ] at the grocery store the Commun store a corner store she's gonna not do this like this is crazy do that voice again I wanna fight if it if it's necessary okay thinking you could just escape to the sandals bad luck its peak season and they are absolutely full Oh Willa reaching out to the Embassy for help after a few hours the seagull chose to go back to the airport there governor wrist were forced back home when the Bahaman government stepped in oh festival it's smart was closed there it is but the exodus from the island while own problems guest spent hours dehydrated and hungover in a hot oh my god why staff locked the door isn't entirely known what don't bill fainted before they were finally Jesus everyone gets home and that was the end of it this is brutal Peru was closed I guess all them rescuing someone open the mouth oh [ __ ] lost in the woods anyway back at home the shitstorm on social media was just right bats I bet it every that our fire festival was created and it started documenting everything that went wrong at the event yeah people were circulating a fake tweet by jar that the whole thing was a social experiment a fake hockey festival means there and it quickly turned into a marketing case study of what not to do in response fire started serving cease and desist letters to stop people from saying mean things about them just like least an official statement online both apologizing and saying that it's not his fault wait there guy was apologizing and who was it to stop people from saying mean things that a guy did this mr. rule released an official statement online worth apologizing and saying that it's not it's not a scam it's not my fault but I'm taking responsible well it's not his fault I mean it's not but you know she shouldn't have done a little bit more research you know his fault interestingly he wasn't even on the island at the time he was giving a concert in Chicago wait so he wasn't even involved with this they offer everyone a full refund yeah that's a good idea you could always let it ride and opt in for tickets 2018 s fire festival meanwhile that's impressive control that is [ __ ] awesome can I walk back before and changed all of the marketing into lies Wow the point that we were very excited about on Wednesday night well how the two sites looked and we got hit by a big storm oh but the apologies I don't know how about later in the first lawsuit was served attorney Ben my Salus doesn't think it's funny he's found a hundred million dollar class-action lawsuit against the organizer in another suit then seven more then the feds got involved claiming Billy had committed wire fraud serious charges with serious prison time what the flock more on that later but first right now let's go into the history of fire festival what the darkening was lava to get the word out they got in touch with about 400 influences Instagram celebrities and I offered them VIP tickets all about the event Omar they managed to get Kendall Jenner to post about it oh how about that she was paid up author of a million dollars for this place Wow the marketing work phone well that worked it'll sold out so how did it go so wrong it's crazy how people will [ __ ] do that dude wait listen could I give you guys a little bit of a vice if someone need on the internet tells you to do something don't listen don't listen to that [ __ ] dude like and just don't worry about it all right I don't do what they're telling you to do let's start with the money during the planning process a consultant came in and said the festival would cost 50 million dollars and require another year of organization is this is after they made all the promises and they had nothing near that amount so they started cutting expenses way back that makes sense remember those luxury villas they going to cost ten million dollars alone so I wrapped them now everyone gets a tent okay deposits for the BAM save some money food infrastructure save some money just to saving money man that's all but you may ask how do they have so little cash if they sold out yeah it's the price it was way too low now wait a minute up to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a ticket is too low yeah in fact on social media people were so merciless and unsympathetic towards the gifts because they thought it was a bunch of rich kids paying for tickets with a starting price with twelve dollars and wealth and you can think fake news for that assumption you see that number repeated everywhere but actually very few were paying even close to that amount standard price was around twelve hundred dollars Wow I could never imagine oh the camera froze give me one second let me fix that so uh yeah who could have ever imagined that the media and other news organizations would take something that sounds more salacious and interesting and to push that as the narrative of what's actually true instead of what is true I would have never expected them to do that can you believe that that would happen Wow how could they possibly do that which if you think about two weeks in the Bahamas with practically all of your expenses - yeah 1200 bucks is good that's pretty bloody good yeah some tickets were as low as $500 early bird special for about 500 bucks and this covered food transportation ticket and how on earth were they gonna look even with that they were let's land on the flip side there's no proof whatsoever that any one purchase to two hundred and fifty thousand dollar tickets no of course not so basically they're stuffed he only has to start taking tough short-term loans just to keep afloat that makes sense which by the way is why they did the fire bans it was to raise cash it's reported that up to two million dollars and fire bucks in-game currency was spent in the lead up to the event two million dollars to enough holy event only a few weeks away the more experienced officer discards damn dude but thanks that's insane couldn't so he insisted on going forward those staff tried to control the damage by telling celebrities and public figures I don't know I didn't go yeah it's a good idea so billion jaw are in some serious trouble yeah a little bit let's please have one failed festival that has a sequel well know Billy is out on three hundred thousand dollars bail his ass Rosen as at May 18th seems like a good idea attorneys he's selling us a property in New York yeah tried to sell being nice for 150 grand but it was canceled for being fraudulent besides necessarily in debt and with no hope of paying it back fire went into involuntary bankruptcy and that is the end of fire festival Jesus man I'll keep you posted about whether Billy is going to jail I wonder did nakai ever go to jail or not did the guy ever go to jail like I'm actually curious he is damn dude five years bro so we can come back he can come back do it again man that's fine yeah he must come back do it again you were too beautiful and it's for me it's time to go home yes is that IKEA box Oh two hours later hey he didn't know how to swim man it is what it is yeah it is what this world no listen I I thought this [ __ ] was pretty [ __ ] funny whenever it happened you she mentioned actually had an almond clay but he kicked them out inhabitants of mai pob well that's why shouldn't listen influencers they're worthless individuals who contribute nothing just walking billboards that's true like basically if you ever go and you see somebody who's advertising some [ __ ] on Instagram or some [ __ ] on Twitter or something like that never go and [ __ ] take their advice and assume that's true alright like anybody who refers to themself that way anyone who feels like that elevates them above other people in that way those people are trash they are idiots and you should never listen to them alright you're an influencer yeah I make videos it doesn't mean I'm trying to actively influence people okay the only reason that people say the word influencers because that's what companies do because companies want to monetize people's platform to sell their [ __ ] that that's what it is that it does nothing to do with the individual themselves right it's like this guy yeah about this guy where's a picture of him let me see if I get a good picture of this guy where the [ __ ] is it there this guy right here there was a guy that I knew and this was back in [ __ ] Cataclysm this is back in Cataclysm and he used to sell arena carries his name is Johnny Johnny looked pretty much exactly like this guy johnny was the scummiest nastiest slimy esteem others that I've ever met in my entire life I'm not I wasn't Johnny okay I'm not Johnny there was a time that we were in Skype together and Johnny was literally trying to get this guy to put a $20 bill in an envelope and mail it to his home address before Johnny would carry him to twenty-two hundred in threes this dude was just trying to make money like he was doing whatever he could man it was insane yeah I [ __ ] twenty dollars in a in an envelope before PayPal well no no it's it it was in PayPal cuz he just wanted the money directly because the guy didn't have PayPal and Johnny was like okay well that's fine right but the guy's saying he didn't have PayPal just meant he didn't want to pay him it was [ __ ] ridiculous it's called being an entrepreneur yeah I mean the guy's a [ __ ] clown I wonder what ever happened to him I think he found Jesus or something like that [Music] you [Music]
