A new Netflix documentary titled “Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened” is drawing the ire of netizens due to the questionable behavior of a certain festival attendee amid what was otherwise a spectacular disaster of an event.
The documentary chronicles the story behind the infamous Fyre Festival, a luxury music festival in the Bahamas that failed catastrophically in 2017 after its promises of opulence for guests — who paid upwards of $1,200 for tickets — materialized in the form of disaster relief tents, soggy mattresses and cheese sandwiches in styrofoam trays.
Upon their arrival, when attendees realized that the advertised “luxury villas” were a thing of fiction, chaos broke out as people scrambled to claim the unassigned tents.

In the ensuing free-for-all, the measures attendee Justin Liao, currently head of business development at Pulse Lab, took to secure comfort raised some eyebrows:
“We didn’t want neighbors,” said Justin Liao.

“Our strategy from there was to kind of ransack all the tents around us. Just started poking holes and flipping mattresses. My buddy pissed on a few of the beds.”
