The event was probably the biggest scam the rich millennials of the US had ever faced, as hundreds of them spent the night out of their minds of tequila, stealing mattresses, and battling the harsh Bahamas elements before they could eventually get back on their "luxury private jets" (standard planes) home.
McFarland was (spoilers) eventually prosecuted for fraud and is currently serving a six year sentence for his crimes, but someone who didn't seem to feel much of the ramifications of the festival was Ja Rule.
Business partner to Billy and very much involved for the entirety of the festival's planning, Ja wasn't interviewed for either of the Fyre documentaries, but has taken to Twitter to maintain his innocence regardless.
The rapper claimed that he too was "... hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray!!!" during the planning of the catastrophic event.
He said that he hasn't been prosecuted because "it wasn't me who scammed ppl Sherlock" and claimed that it was simply his vision that was "fucked up."
