Mic is currently in the process of unpacking thousands of leaked emails from Fyre Festival employees that detail the gross negligence that lead to hundreds of people stranded on a deserted island in the Bahamas. 

The focus of this latest report is the festival organizer’s awareness of the lack of facilities for their customers, mainly bathrooms, showers and cabanas that either never existed or didn’t make it to the island. 

Mic unveiled a number of emails from Fyre president Conall Arora, executive producer Lyly Villanueva and other Fyre staff about the rising cost of shipping bathrooms. Villanueva noted that 125 stalls would be required to accommodate their customers. Arora suggested saving money by wrangling half that number. “If we cut it in half, we would just have double the line wait?,” he wrote. 

Villanueva pushed back, suggesting that since this is a luxury event they should consider more bathrooms. “We have to move on this or we’ll be in a shitty situation,” Villanueva joked. 

There are other cost-cutting ventures too, such as the red alert from Marc Weinstein, a consultant working on accommodations. Weinstein alerted the staff to the housing shortage just a week before the festival, suggesting that they move hundreds of staff, security and influencers to the second weekend of the festival to cut down the approximately 593 people that would be without housing. 

Weinstein pushed two days later again to have staff connect with influencers to notify them of reduced accommodations. “It was clear they expected their own rooms at private villas on the beach,” Weinstein wrote. “Of course, these villas don’t exist.” 

This is surely just a continuation of a lengthy, messy legal battle for Fyre’s Billy McFarland and his team as the far-spreading negligence is just now emerging and will continue as their numerous lawsuits unfold.
