So I just watched this, and my first question is how Ja Rule is not on the hook?

I've been asking that a lot. Well not a lot, but throughout the whole video. Especially with that video call.

Just watched the Bundy documentary on Netflix. It's also great. Billy does remind me of Bundy. The way they both seemed so convinced they couldn't lose.

They both have that same grin on their faces the whole time too.

The scummy company that promoted Fyre on Instagram also has an account that steals jokes and profits from them. A lot of comedians are pushing to get people to unfollow them.

Ja Rule wants to stage another Fyre Fest

"In the midst of chaos is opportunity"

https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/...DWymMDKZXaZDAo

Quote:
“In the midst of chaos is opportunity. I’m working on a lot of new things, Ja Rule respond. He went on to call Fyre Fest “the most iconic festival that never was,” before slyly adding, “I have plans to create the iconic music festival.”

In the meantime, Ja Rule has launched a “celebrity entertainment booking and concierge service” called ICONN that’s in the same vein as the original Fyre app.

For real. I totally assumed figure of speech but when it became clear that he was actually serious about that I literally yelled WTF at my TV.

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise how big of a sub-human POS Billy is, but it was surprising that Andy admitted he would have gone through with that on camera.

Makes you wonder about all the other sociopathic behavior from Billy that didn't get reported.

I think there will be alot more of the same from Billy once he gets out of jail. He has Cluster B all over his DNA and he'll be fixated on recapturing that fleeting taste of baller life.

'Baller Life' means a lot of different things depending on which side of the Federal Penitentiary Fence you happen to be standing on.

Allegedly It was fake. Planned by the #### Jerry guys. At least that's what has been going around. Them being involved in the Netflix doc is pretty skeezy in itself.

There is a mini documentary on them on netflix as well... worth the watch. I don't see how it is a scummy company. They were paid to promote / be an influencer for the event and were not directly involved in any of the scamming (I say this without reading your links and perhaps they explain more that I don't know about)

Was just 1 random guy who blew up on Instagram and like so many, found a way to profit from it.

"I didn't read the sources you provided but here's my opinion without that info."

The company is scummy because they take jokes, photos, creative content, etc from others and profits on them without providing credit or compensation for it.

The Fyre promotion stuff is outside of the Instagram stuff.
