That oral sex scene was just bizarre....The guy was an established promo/pr/marketing guy, who had contacts, and assumedly a thriving career, opportunities. Why would he perform oral sex on some Bahamanian official, for some frat boy goofball?
I thought the documentary was fine, quick and easy watch, nothing really insightful, I much prefer reading to watching documentaries, the live coverage, plus court docs provide a much more in depth look, without having to watch some hedge fund kids interview about his bad night in the Bahamas.
Am I correct that the place was Norman's Cay, or has that been conflated? Normans Cay was where Carlos Lehder operated from in the 80's, and it was a hedonistic crazed place.
Apparently, the Hulu one was slightly better, that was Wesley Morris take from NY Times:

As I understand it, the MacFarlands are a fairly affluent real estate development family, so it isn't some rags to riches story. Billy just decided to scam and hustle, probably believing about 70% of his nonsense himself, rather than go the established route, of school and a finance job or whatever.
I think the breakdown was more of a "damn, if this fails I won't be able to rip off these stupid fukks a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time"So after watching both docs, one thing I’m still wondering. Was Billy scamming the ENTIRE time or was there a point where he legitimately thought the festival was gonna work? Like the part where he’s crying and having a breakdown made me think that a part of him thought they could pull the festival off but at the same time he could be that much of a sociopath where even those tears were part of the con
- and of course the hit to the pride and ego.

Honestly if he pulled this shyt off and everything went to plan he would have had this yearly, with prices getting even wilder! The money would have been![]()
