Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Let them with too much money be more cannon fodder for this scheme.
What could possible go wrong?

Just what you need in your country. Another con man.

McFarland previously announced plans to make a Broadway musical about the festival. In March this year, he also laid out his plans to repay the $26m he owed to investors for the first festival. He wrote on Twitter: “Here’s how I’m going to pay it back: I spend half my time filming TV shows. The other half, I focus on what I’m really, really good at. I’m the best at coming up with wild creative, getting talent together, and delivering the moment.”

How about putting some thought and "Creativity" in how to PAY for this talent, and all it takes to support it?

Since the sincerest form of loathing is getting someone's name wrong I shall think of him as Billy McFarthead.

Payment in full, 6 months in advance, at a 250% premium, plus an extra 500% deposit refunded upon completion of the event assuming there's no issues.

Sure I'll do your inevitable disaster of a festival :)

James, better plan for a full buyout of the system in case this Dickwad ends up in trouble with customs. You may never see your gear again.  Refundable deposit at the arrival to your warehouse. Not at completion.
Just some thoughts...
