why are you saying a scam? Nothing about what I saw in the pics or vids is a scam. No lawyer could go in court and prove "SCAM"
Tents weren't up to par, but they were there. Food was there. (Im not talking about the cheese sandwich)
Its people who went that said that cheese sandwiches were an option but that Barbecue chicken and pasta salad was there.
Staff was there, although limited. For a scam, you have to prove without a doubt that McFarland and Ja had no intentions to hold the festival. Its ample proof that they did try to hold the festival.
ja is this you?
Your Periscope video has now been viewed over 175,000 times. Were you surprised that many people were tuning in?
Not really. People love a train wreck, especially if they're people you both envy and want to be given a comeuppance. There was a lot of misinformation. It wasn't $12,000 a ticket like many in the media were saying. I paid $4,000 — the VIP Artist Pass I purchased was $2,700 and I owed my buddy another $1,300 for my share of the $8,000 VIP villa we were supposed to be staying in. Yeah, that's a lot of money, but that's what I thought it would cost to spend four nights in the Bahamas hanging out with A-list celebrities. I was supposed to be flown in on a private plane with Wolfgang Puck making me omelets for breakfast. For $4,000, that's pretty damn cheap.
Did they have a VIP villa ready for you when you arrived?
No, and when we landed we could tell immediately we weren't on a private island. We were on just a part of a larger island. It felt like a rock quarry or something. And you pull in and there's just cars everywhere and trucks and people, and you just come up on all these disaster relief tents everywhere. We thought, 'What the hell is this?' And then, they dropped us off right in the middle of this crowd. And there's just a huge line, and nobody's telling you anything. And you're standing in line, and that Billy McFarland guy is standing on a table trying to answer questions. But nobody can hear him. He looked like an idiot standing on this table, telling the people who rented villas to just go grab a tent. Any tent. And then people started running to the tents, grabbing up tents that had been assigned to someone else. It seemed like no one was in charge.
so lets say you book a trip... they tell you this trip will include a private plane, breakfast by wolfgang, a private island and a private villa
when you pay and show up..... it's a commercial plane, the food is sandwiches and chicken and rolls, it's not a private island, nor is there sand and a beach, and the "villa" is actually a disaster tent, that you have to share with complete strangers
then you find out the owners of this trip knew weeks ahead of time that they didn't have the shyt... they told the famous people not to come.. they flew out and saw how much of disaster it was and let it go on... and they are out here toasting to fukking like pornstars on your dime
are you going to say you were scammed or oh it's ok, you just ran out of money
