In other words, people refer to the fyre 2 festival as a big joke. Akcun, explained the documentaries on Hulu and Netflix, and some want to be in chaos when it doesn’t pass the second time, the AKC explained.

“It makes no sense for me,” AKC said. “I’ve heard from talking to people over the years that … he’s just a hard -working entrepreneur, and that it’s just creating an opportunity to have fun and they can’t wait if it does it right. So … if you are going for it, success.

He continued: “In any case, I don’t think it happens more from what I read last week, but if it turns out, it just won’t be relevant again. I don’t know if you noticed, even Coachella this year was … no one publishes.”
“These things just don’t matter.”
When the AKC joined the Fyre Eight Year Festival team, he worked at Jerry Media, which was engaged in graphic design and social media strategy for the original festival. AKC said he was delighted with the project because he had preparation in the music industry and passionate about music festivals.
Before the festival began, there was a “writing on the wall”, which was to show that the event would become a disaster: from the credit cards that jump to the partners of the fyre festival, which remained on the loop on logistics planning, AKS said.

He reminded that he knew everything was going south.
“When we arrived, the point, when it really hit me, was actually … Going through this hill and like a descent to the valley where the beach was held, the festival was held, and the tents and the actual media center and … Nothing were there,” he said. “… Logistics failed in my brain, but I just suggested it was not my territory. I am a graphic designer, I am sure they have as an architect or … Someone copes with it. But then I saw Fema or the tent, and it was a moment when it all hit.”

In the era of social media, the AKC said, the public makes icons from scammers such as Anna Delwi and even suspected murder like Luigi Mangion.
“We look at them the way they are iconic, for example,” Oh, what is she in court? “And … at some point you are just more obsessed with them as this story you created, not who they really are.

AKC added that the public, especially the American public, does not tell about the stories of the succession of millionaires and billionaires of business magnates in the same way as the public discusses fraudsters and “monetary groups”, especially in social media.
“We glorify bad, fraudulent, evil, and we look at these people as heroes.”
“It used to be … This inspiring route you would go to a career to move on the stairs or earn a living and buy a house or anything.” Like the fable or any other imaginary title you want to assign them. And I think it’s, well, it’s very concerned about as a public shift … Why are we doing it? “

AKC said Macfarland did not live “15 minutes of glory” after the first fyre festival, and it is still working to achieve recognition for Fyre Festival 2.
Fyre Festival 2 did not answer the questions of Fox News Digital about the deferral, and nothing on the social media pages or pages in the social media site was mentioned about the changed plans.
