Instead, thousands of guests showed up for an event called the “Sprayathon” that was documented on social media.
The owner told Smith: “The only animals there were the people, a thousand of them. They drowned themselves in Champagne … they broke into the house, trashed the furniture, art was stolen, we found used condoms. So many people were there that the concrete around the pool crumbled and fell into the water. It was like ‘Jersey Shore’ meets a frat party.”
The owner is now suing Barna for $1 million for alleged damages to the property, as well the $27, 000 Airbnb rental, Barna allegedly refusing to pay.
Moore Capital Management said it has fired Barna.
“Mr. Barna’s personal judgment was inconsistent with the firm’s values, ” the company told CNBC in a statement. “He is no longer employed by Moore Capital Management.”
