McFarland, who was the CEO of Fyre Media Inc., had sold expensive tickets to his Fyre Festival, originally scheduled for April 2017, promising attendees of luxury hotels and meals, performances and special celebrity guest appearances. In the end, the festival was cancelled on the day attendees started arriving, leaving them stranded.
