73: Fyre Fraud  
Podcast: True Crime Obsessed
Published On: Tue Feb 05 2019
Description: The Fyre Festival was the defining scam of the millennial generation. Marketing for the 2017 music event went viral with the help of rapper Ja Rule, instagram stars, and models, but wound up being an epic failure as it stranded thousands of people in the Bahamas. Featuring an exclusive interview with Billy McFarland, the convicted con-man behind the festival, FYRE FRAUD is a true-crime comedy documentary bolstered by a cast of whistleblowers, victims, and insiders. And we have LOTS of feelings about it.  LOOKING FOR MORE TCO? Binge our 40+ bonus episodes via Patreon!
