U.S. Marshals Are Auctioning Off Fyre Fest Merch Again

On Thursday, the U.S. Marshals Service announced that they would be hosting an online auction of 126 items seized from the event including shirts, bracelets, and hats. And much like last year's auction, all the proceeds will go toward a fund for victims of the festival.

As a brief refresher, the "luxury" music festival masterminded by Billy McFarland in 2017 was heavily promoted by a number of high-profile celebrities and promised a "once in a lifetime" experience full of supermodels, yachts, and Bahamian beaches.

However, the poorly planned event actually turned out to be an apocalyptic nightmare filled with cheese sandwiches in styrofoam containers and subsequently led to a six-year prison term for McFarland on fraud charges — not to mention several documentaries on the disaster.
