"McFarland allegedly presented fake documents to induce investors to put over a million dollars into his company and the fiasco called the Fyre Festival. Thanks to the investigative efforts of the FBI, McFarland will now have to answer for his crimes."

In case you forgot, the Fyre Festival was McFarland's joint project with rapper Ja Rule that used Instagram influencers to lure rich kids down to an island in the Bahamas where they were met with cheese sandwiches and disaster relief tents.
