The tickets went as far way up to $250,000.All persons that had made the bookings were treated to some rude shock when their dreams turned out to be a disorganized failure.

    According to some trusted sources, the expected day finally arrived and ticket holders moved to the secluded island. That was on late April and it was so frustrating when all they had to meet was a construction site with half-built tents with inadequate water and the feral dogs.

    The acting Manhattan U.S. attorney, Joon Kim while speaking to a number of top news reporters said that McFarland had made great promises to the ticket holders, to only disappoint them at the end with what the attorney termed a disaster.

    A number of the Federal prosecutors have lately opened up in relation to the matter, with most of them firm believers that he gave investors fake documents The motive was to get them to invest more than a million dollars in his company and the festival, whereas at the back of his mind he knew it was a scheme to steal from them.

    According to Huffingtonpost, the Wire fraud charges are usually associated with up to 20 years in jail. However, The New York Times has outlined that McFarland might be serving a shorter sentence after all.

    The event co-founder, Ja Rule may also be facing charges considering that he connived with McFarland and the two went ahead to promote the festival citing that it was going to be a transformational music experience in paradise.

  • Catholic Cardinal Charged With Sexual Assault in Australia

    Catholic Cardinal Charged With Sexual Assault in Australia

    For the first time authorities are beginning to take sexual misconduct charges filed against Roman Catholic officials serious as the police in Melbourne Australia have charged Cardinal George Pell with historical sexual abuse. The Cardinal has various sexual misconduct charges hanging over his head from his time as the head of the Catholic archdiocese of Sydney. The cardinal who is one of the top advisers has denied the allegation completely and has said he would defend the case in court.

    Officials of the Roman Catholic Church have been for a long time been a subject of sexual misconduct for a long time but law enforcement agencies have been sceptical about bring charges against members of the church. This moves marks a change in that mentality as the Melbourne police department charged the cardinal with the serious charges.

    Deputy Commission of Police of the Australian state of Victoria, Shane Patton in announcing the charges said the cardinal has to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on July 18. The police chief also said that the cardinal is facing charges arising from multiple complaints filed in the past by different people.

    In response to the charges, an official statement read that the cardinal who is in Rome would return to Australia where he would defend the charges against him. The statement also read that the cardinal denies the charges against him and would have his day in court.

    A recently released book titled Cardinal: “The Rise and Fall of George Pell” details sexual assault charges levied against the Cardinal by two choirboys during his time as archbishop of Melbourne from 1996-200. The author of the book Louise Milligan, who is a reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, explained that one of the choirboys came forward after the death of the other choir boy.

    The news of the charges seems to be good news for people who have showed discontent for the amount of protection enjoyed by Vatican officials. Dominican Fr. Thomas Doyle, who is an expert on the church’s response to clergy sexual abuse, has called on the Vatican to suspend the cardinal pending the decision of the court. The charges might have a ripple effect in other countries where Vatican officials have been let off the hook in the past.
