The sad thing is that those casual workers, builders, vendors in the island who worked their asses off are never get paid anyway. I don't care how remorseful he tries to portray himself, he is a conman who doesn't compensate people for all the work they've done.

I still very firmly believe that he knew exactly what he was doing the entire time. He, like many other con artists, just never that he would get caught, and never thought if the consequences. It really proves it when the video was released of him continuing his cons while on bail. His ego is up there in the top tiers. I just hope that nobody ever trusts him with another company. Once a crook, always a crook. Plain and simple. You didn’t let people down, he took fool blown advantage of all the people who trusted him.

I really hope prison has humbled him. He is still very young, the fact that he was able to build his own company before the age of 30 means that he has a lot of drive and determination and I could see him building a new business empire and be able to look back on his past faults to not repeat the same mistakes.

People like you are why the Republicans will allow Trump to run again. And why business owners, BoD's, and CEO's, are not interested in raising salaries and wages. And especially why customer service no longer exists anymore. Anywhere. And I don't feel sorry for people like you who are judgemental, dishonest and have zero empathy, as you don't know even one of the people who got screwed bc of Fyre Fest, or what their situation was. But you are still ready to jump straight to them "deserving it." Because they have more and you have less. And that's just not fair!!! Right???

@@TheRedart99 LOL! NO, I am quite sure that you are not a Republican! Re-read what I wrote and maybe you will understand this time. And yes, what happened to the locals was awful! Thank goodness they were made whole after the fact. But they were scammed by the person who was found guilty and jailed. That is how the law works. But that is not good enough for you!? YOU think that the people who were supposed to attend Fyre Fest, and got screwed out of their money, don't deserve any sympathy from anyone, because they have more, and you have less, and that's just not fair! From your perspective at least. It would be fine if you also had what they had, and then there wouldn't be an issue, right? Then you would also be mad that your trip to Fyre Fest was a bust, wouldn't you? And even if I HAD called you a Republican, I am quite sure that you couldn't have even thought of a more egregious word, as Democrats have, of course, the moral high ground! Even if they would actually prefer to enjoy holidays like Fyre Fest (when executed properly that is!)!
