Well, that didn't take long: Organizers of the Fyre Festival have been hit with a $100-million class-action lawsuit alleging fraud and breach of contract. The complaint, filed Sunday in U.S. District Court in California, alleges fraud and breach of contract by Billy McFarland, Ja Rule (real name Jeffrey Atkins) and Fyre Media Inc. Fyre Media Inc. did not respond immediately Monday to a request for comment. This is an unacceptable guest experience and the Fyre team takes full responsibility for the issues that occurred," the statement continued. Refunds would be issued and all would-be guests would receive VIP passes to the festival next year, organizers said.
