Anyone who falls for this deserves it tbh

Rich people are the dumbest fucks on earth i-cant

They really are, I love how after this and other shit like Theranos that all it takes is a somewhat socially competent smart sounding white person to rip them off for millions

Nah Theranos seems like they took a lot of care into faking results

Let's talk about Juicero instead. People funded a 300 dollar juicer with hundreds of millions

[-] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Not even a juicer. A small juice bag refrigerator.

True, I'd also add Cybertrucks as well as the rich middle income techbro graft

They let this guy out of prison after like 2 months, and asked him to please not do this again lol.

[-] Deadend@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

Does it come with an NFT?

That guy’s face is on too tight

[-] buh@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

he looks like an AI generated Ryan Reynolds

[-] neo@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I guess he lost weight in prison b/c he definitely was huskier before.

$1 million for cheese sandwiches again let's go!

Look, I'm sorry, the Fyre Festival works on paper but not in practice I'm afraid

Nonono, that wasn't the real Fyre Festival. The real Fyre Festival hasn't even been tried yet. Ja Rule was a counterrevolutionary.

What's the funniest outcome?

I think it's that he collects something like $10 million bucks and then he moves to a place like Indonesia that has no extradition treaty with the US. Despite already grifting twice on the same idea - next year he does it again by starting selling tickets to Fyre Festival III.
