I guess not being a social media follower or a rich kid I was unaware of this festival fraud.
The whole part of a festival for me is about the camping music and atmosphere such as I have experienced at Glastonbury and other UK music festivals.
Hand on heart I can't feel sorry for all the rich kids that got duped specialy after listening to one of them admit to wrecking the large dome like tents and pissing on beds because he didn't want people staying in them near him!
However I do feel sorry for the local people who worked hard and not only didn't get paid but also lost their own money in the process
I have never heard of Billy McFarland the guy who organised ,lied and in effect stole millions in the process of selling a 5 star music festival experience to the over privalaged and delivering a bag of s***e.
The main thing that left me speechless was the sentence that this guy was given,taking into account that whilst on bail he tried to and did sell exclusive tickets to high profile events under another person that were also not genuine ! Apparently this holds a 20 year sentence of which he was given 6 yrs!! WTF so he basically got a slap on the wrist!
Wouldn't surprise me if he has a pimped out cell to boot!
