“They play Scrabble together,” DelVecchio said, to which McCarthy replied, “Tell Mike he’s got to get as much information on the Fyre Festival. He can write two books.”

McFarland recently began a six-year prison sentence for wire fraud, and Sorrentino is serving a 24-month term on a tax evasion indictment, per Us Weekly.
Sorrentino previously shared a video of his final free moments before reporting to prison, which shows him getting into an SUV and then making the drive up to the facility he is being held at.
“The comeback is always greater than the setback, stay tuned,” a caption on the post read in part.
Sorrentino has only been in prison for about three months, but his wife Lauren Pesce previously shared that he is doing well and is very grateful to all of his fans for their support.
“Hi everyone, it’s Lauren. Mike would like to thank all of his fans worldwide for the unbelievable outpouring of love [and] support. We speak everyday [and] he’s doing great,” Pesce wrote in a series of tweets on Jan. 17.
