A $100 million proposed class-action lawsuit was filed Sunday in California against the organizers of the now infamous Fyre Festival on the grounds of fraud, claiming a “lack of adequate food, water, shelter, and medical care created a dangerous and panicked situation among attendees — suddenly finding themselves stranded on a remote island without basic provisions ― that was closer to ‘The Hunger Games’ or ‘Lord of the Flies’ than Coachella,” ABC News reported.

The lawsuit was filed by concertgoer Daniel Jung and his attorney, Mark Geragos, who says the whole debacle “was nothing more than a get-rich-quick scam from the very beginning” and that they “intended to fleece attendees for hundreds of millions of dollars by inducing them to fly to a remote island without food, shelter or water — and without regard to what might happen to them after that.”

The suit, which expects more than 150 plaintiffs, claims attendees “were hamstrung by their reliance upon Defendants for transportation, as well as by the fact that Defendants promoted the festival as a ‘cashless’ event —Defendants instructed attendees to upload funds to a wristband for use at the festival rather than bringing any cash. As such, Attendees were unable to purchase basic transportation on local taxis or buses, which accept only cash. As a result … at least one attendee suffered a medical emergency and lost consciousness after being locked inside a nearby building with other concert-goers waiting to be airlifted from the island,” according to an excerpt from Variety.

Defendants are accused of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $100 million.

Singer Ja Rule performs onstage at The Barstool Party 2017 on February 3, 2017 in Houston, Texas.

Ja Rule and the Fyre Festival are facing a $100 million lawsuit after the "luxury" music festival in the Bahamas they charged up to $49,000 to attend was plagued by terrible housing arrangements, food issues, thieves and feral dogs, iBankCoin reports.

Concertgoers reported an organizational mess that failed to live up to the marketing material. The "Private Luxury Villas" Fyre Festival had promised for housing ended up being USAID disaster relief tents. Services like baggage handling and guest assistance, too, didn't meet guests' expectations.

And while Ja Rule and organizers issued an apology, it didn't satisfy people upset with the artist:

Shortly thereafter, a class-action lawsuit representing attendees was filed against Ja Rule, co-founder Billy McFarland and Fyre Media, the company that runs Fyre Festival. Geragos & Geragos, a firm that has represented high-profile clients such as Chris Brown and Michael Jackson, is handling the case.



The suit alleges that the organizers were aware months in advance that the festival was "dangerously under-equipped and posed a serious danger to anyone in attendance" and is seeking damages in excess of $100 million.

They may have been dumb enough to pay $10,000, but going to be a millionaire because of it after the lawsuit :wow:


lol.. they arent going to be millionaires. It would have to be a wrongful death to even come close to the million range.

I'm literally in tears from laughing about this shyt.

Ja Rule partnered with a prototypical CAC schemer. This Billy McFarland dude is a straight villain.
I went to high school with dude...

I remember they used to make Facebook events for big sporting events. We had a hockey game against a rival school and the trash talk on the event was the highest level cac posturing and threatening you can imagine. Billy McFarland was all over the comments picking fights with cats, talking about "meet me in front of my dojo in West Orange at 3o clock, I'm a blue belt in jujitsu":laff::laff::laff:


Fast forward to 2017 bro still selling wolf tickets but this time they're going for ten racks:laff::laff::laff:
