A bunch of rich retards got scammed by a rich douche

[Captain]

Apparently some untalented rapper and a bunch of plastic people on Instagram were promoting some kind of exclusive unadulterated island getaway called Fyre Festival which would feature supermodels, fancy tents, and musical talent such as Blink-182. And it would only cost $12,000

Here's how it went down

Fyre Festival, a new luxury festival whose first weekend was scheduled to kick off last night in the Bahamas, is in disarray, the BBC reports. Reports of trouble at the fest, for which weekend ticket prices ranged from $1,000 to $12,000, began to emerge yesterday, as the first ticket-holders arrived at an apparently unfinished campsite. That evening, Blink-182 cancelled, citing doubts that they could give “the quality of performances we always give fans.” The festival hit another snag when planes scheduled to depart Miami for the festival were grounded, with some would-be attendees live-streaming as they were made to disembark. (Airline representatives told passengers the island was over capacity, according to Billboard.) Multiple festival-goers already on the island reported underwhelming conditions, including unstable accommodation, haphazard luggage distribution, “luxury tents” recognizable from disaster relief efforts, and more. Attempts to leave the island, too, were apparently hindered.

100 mil for 150 people is a pretty hefty chunk of change

They were rich people, they are entitled to more money, naturally.
