Just another data point. Billy McFarland was arrested by FBI agents Monday following the Fyre Festival for defrauding investors. He did not confess prior to his arrest.

Billy raised $20m with fake financials. SBF raised close to a $1B, and I’m sure he didn’t disclose the fact that customer deposits flowed to a hedge fund he controlled exclusively.

Harm caused to consumers and investors is just as obvious, if not more obvious in SBF’s case, when compared to Billy’s festival.
