Magnises Card
The **Magnises card** was billed as the millennial's answer to the American Express Black Card. For $250 a year, members got a sleek metal card, access to exclusive events, and entry to a private townhouse in Manhattan. Behind the scenes, things were far less glamorous. The card was founded by **Billy McFarland**, who would later become infamous for the **Fyre Festival disaster**. His six-year federal prison sentence, fraud charges, and a trail of broken promises turned the Magnises card into one of the most notorious failures in modern fintech history.
