Now on the flipside, there's some very very real risk involved there. What if by some unbelievable miracle MacFarland had been able to come across one last investor who chucked $5 million into the thing and allowed a hail mary contractor play and somehow pulled the thing to a disappointing show, but not actionable misconduct?

No our 'principled' Yoga teacher, who said '**** this, I'm out', is probably gonna be on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages for breach of contract.

I mean if you're gonna walk away from something like that, you'd better by God believe you're right. Your best bet in that case would just be loud enough and pissy enough to get yourself canned.

I did feel bad for the Fyre employees who worked on the app development teams, though. I mean what the hell? For those guys, Fyre was the app. That was the whole company. And the party was just a marketing push. They had know way to realize that this failed marketing push would end up blowing apart the whole company. They got proper rogered.

And credit to anybody on any conference call with JaRule for not telling that bumble**** to sit down and shut up. The amount of self-restraint that must have taken is truly extraordinary.
Where is Ja? Help me Jarule!
