Billy McFarland, 30, pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud was sentenced to six years in jail in 2018.
Billy McFarland, one of the organizers of the notorious Fyre Festival, has been released from prison early.
The 30-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud stemming from the 2017 festival—where tickets cost thousands of dollars but rather than being met with luxury villas and high-profile performances, attendees were left stranded on an island with dilapidated tents for shelter and sorry cheese sandwiches for food. McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison in 2018. His lawyers have been fighting for an early release since 2020, but McFarland is not entirely victorious.
