Mark Geragos -- who's represented clients like Michael Jackson, Chris Brown and Kesha -- originally filed last week on behalf of Daniel Jung, who reportedly paid $2,000 for his ticket and travel to the Bahamas event at the end of last month.

The amended complaint says that further investigation discovered that the defendants, including Ja Rule, Billy McFarland and Jeffrey Atkins, put the whole thing together "merely [as] a front for a massive financial fraud akin to a Ponzi scheme in which the founders ... in Fyre Media Inc. misappropriated funds from attendees."
