We got calls from people who were looking for lawyers to get off the island ― people who we had known in Los Angeles and people who just knew us from Googling the firm. We started getting calls from literally everybody on the island who wanted to be involved in the case. I think you can say hell has no wrath like a millennial scorned.
—Ben Meiselas, of the firm Geragos & Geragos, telling Huffington Post how his firm got involved in the lawsuit against the ill-planned and potentially fraudulent event known as the Fyre Festival. Fyre Festival was billed as a “transformative, immersive” experience but was actually nothing more than FEMA tents and sad cheese sandwiches. Geragos & Geragos filed a class action, which is still ongoing, against the festival before the festival was even over.
