Fyre Festival organiser Billy McFarland says he's organising a new 'crazy' project

Well, this just looks like Fyre Festival 2.0.

Fyre Festival organiser Billy McFarland has teased a new project he has in the works.

McFarland was released from prison only a few months ago and he's spent his time behind bars for his crimes to cook up a new plan.

He took to TikTok to drop some hints about his next big thing and says he is 'making this up to everybody'.

Bizarrely though, the video and his account have already been deleted.

While he is yet to reveal what the plan actually is, the Fyre Festival founder showed off a cryptic map and a phone number.

The clip kicked off with McFarland standing in front of a white board reeling off a short speech of feeling guilty in the wake of Fyre Festival.

"As you might know, I f**ked around and because of that, I definitely found out," McFarland said in the clip.

"Obviously, I've had a little too much time to think about this, but I do feel that the moment's right to start making this up to everybody."

That's when the Fyre Festival founder flipped the whiteboard over to reveal the map, which appears to be a treasure map of a Caribbean island.

He's got a new project in the work. Run for your lives.

"You might have guessed, but I'm working on something new," he said in the clip.

"This time it's a little crazier, but a whole lot bigger than anything I've ever tried before."

Oh good, because the last thing went oh-so-well and didn't spin out of control at all.

He added: "I promise I'm going to tell you everything in November, but before we get there, there's one thing you need to know now. This time, everybody's invited."

Then McFarland, being the showboat that he is, ripped off the map to reveal a sequence of numbers hidden behind the 'treasure map'.

It's a phone number, and several sleuths who dialled it found it asks for your contact information before it sends along a text message with your 'first clue'.

Oh, and we did it so you don't have to. Here's the 'clue':

So, as we can see, the 'clue' links to a YouTube video of a woman dressed in a bikini swimming in shark-infested waters.

We're getting Caribbean island vibes, which is exactly where the Fyre Festival disaster unfolded, so all signs right now are pointing to history repeating itself.

Back in October 2018, Billy McFarland ended up being sentenced to six years in prison on fraud charges, and was ordered to cough up USD$26 million (AUD$41 million, £14.5 million) over the music festival mess.

McFarland was jailed after he was adjudged to have defrauded $27.4 million from investors into the ill-fated music festival, as well as selling tickets to the festival and other similar events.

He's now out, and apparently has thrown his irons into the fire once again - so watch this space, we guess.
