    And he's allowed to scam hundreds of people again? Why are you giving this dude media attention

    He hasn’t learned anything from prison. Anyone who gets a ticket to Fyre Fest 2 deserves to lose their money and feel stupid for the rest of their lives. When will this madness stop?

    He's using big words and key phrases while dancing around the questions asked to him in order to catch everyone's attention. That alone is how he got a crew and people interested. He's Charles Mansoning everyone basically.

    It baffles me that some voices are actually placed in front of a microphone in the mainstream news media; what a strange, 4-packs-a-day 🚬 timbre to be on the air.
    Also, I find thoroughly reprehensible all the “I’m rooting for you” and the creepy “you look good!” statements. smh

    I'm sure the inmates in prison had fun with Billy. A good looking White boy like him is a rare treat in prison. I'm sure the inmates couldn't keep their hands off him. I'm sure they fought over him. Whoever in prison owned Billy in prison is one lucky inmate. It's treat to have a good looking White boy like him in prison.
