Fyre Festival Merchandise Up for Auction to Pay Restitution to Victims
August 3, 2020
Three years after the Fyre Festival flopped, some branded merchandise from the ill-fated event is up for grabs. The U.S. Marshals are auctioning off mostly clothing items that are branded with the Fyre Festival logo. They were confiscated from the festival’s founder, Billy McFarland, who the Marshals say was intending to sell the items and use the money to commit more fraudulent acts before he was sentenced to six years in prison in 2018. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
