Billy McFarland, infamous for the Fyre Festival, opened up about his harrowing legal journey. Facing a potential 40-year sentence at just 25 was a surreal experience for McFarland, who candidly admitted that the prospect left him almost fainting.

Despite the initial fear and surprise, McFarland found unlikely camaraderie, even befriending the inmate who served him the sandwich.
