He sold a dream. What he delivered was chaos.

Billy McFarland promised the ultimate luxury music festival—an ultra-exclusive experience on a private island, complete with celebrity guests, gourmet dining, and five-star accommodations. It was marketed as a once-in-a-lifetime event. Instead, attendees arrived to find disaster: FEMA tents, no food, no music—just a logistical nightmare unraveling in real-time.

But the Fyre Festival was just the final act in McFarland’s long-running con. From high-end scams to fraudulent ventures, how did he keep convincing investors and influencers to buy into his illusion? What psychological tricks did he use to maintain his façade even as everything collapsed around him? And what finally led to his downfall?

Join Jordan Wynn and Dr. Archer in Crime Fixation: Season Two – The Art Of The Con as they uncover the mind of a master manipulator, dissecting the social engineering, reckless ambition, and unchecked greed that made Fyre Festival one of the most infamous scams of the decade.

Power. Greed. Deception. The bigger the lie, the harder the fall.
