The 27 year-old, disgraced Fyre Festival creator, Billy McFarland, discovered his fate today in a New York court for his debunked 2017 festival in the Bahamas. A Manhattan judge sentenced the fraudster to 6 years in prison, 3 years of probation, and to pay back $26 million in restitutions. Federal judge Naomi Reice Buchwald said the following today:
“The defendant is a serial fraudster. Mr. McFarland is a fraudster and not simply a misguided young man. Bad intent was longstanding.”
