You make the excellent point that Billy McFarland presents as a sociopath. In his mind, he simply didn't believe it was possible for the Fyre Festival to fail.

It would have been a more believable documentary if they'd have covered the obviously rampant cocaine abuse of the people running the show. Like so many underground raves, they probably planned on bailing themselves out by dealing to the rich attendees, who came expecting to party on "Pablo Escobar's Island". I'll bet that plan came crashing down because there were some big shipments other than bottled water that they failed to release from customs by "taking one for the team".

Fodder for a third documentary!

I think you might be on to something here...
