I just saw that in the news, federal Marshalls finally have figured it all out and are auctioning off items from the festival.
It took just about 3 whole years to unravel this scam.

If any of you are still harboring ill-will towards the guy, apparently he has tested positive for Coronavirus while stuck in prison.

Looks like this is the end or at least the likely end.
Ticket buyers do get some money back, provided there is money left to pay them back


LOL and shithead celebrities are still trying to make money off of it HAHAHA. Christ, anyone who gives shitheads like Ja Rule money need to be hit over the head with a hammer.

De Haas has now teamed up with rapper and festival co-organizer Ja Rule to sell the rights to the tweet as a non-fungible token.



Ultimately I read the article, but does it say who (or who all?) they are suing? Because if it's just Billy Farland or whatever, I doubt they will get much. Also surprised the lawsuit was only < 300 people? I thought thousands attended?

Compensation attendees receive may go down depending on the outcome of other bankruptcy cases against festival organizers.

I wonder what shithead celebrity Charles Barkley thinks about all of this.
