There’s a sucker born every minute — or 100 of them if you are to believe Fyre Festival fraudster Billy McFarland.
The convicted con man claimed all 100 tickets — at $499 a pop — have been sold for his second attempt at throwing a music festival on a Caribbean island.
McFarland, 31, spent four years in prison for defrauding investors after the first Fyre Festival debacle in 2017 — when music fans arrived on an ill-equipped island in the Bahamas to find tattered tents, no bathrooms and a menu featuring cheese sandwiches.
On Tuesday, the huckster announced via YouTube video that he was resurrecting his ill-fated concept and that tickets were available on ticketing platform Posh.VIP.
