Saved you a click "According to court documents, Rinsch received $44 million from Netflix to produce his sci-fi series “White Horse” in 2018. In late 2019, he requested an additional $11 million, which Netflix agreed to provide contingent on the completion of the series."
Lame. Not enough to get elected as president of the united states.
Five Rolls and a Ferrari? How fucking boring.
Perfectly cut text preview.
Those were pre-inflation dollars. You could buy like, forty eggs with it.
What’s eggs?
Something that existed in the before times.
I got tripples of the rolls, but only one ferrari, I need a backup!
Triples makes it safe.
I'd be interested to see the actual wording of the agreement for that extra $11 million that was allegedly "defrauded". Was it actually stipulated that the money had to be spent on the series, or did he just walk up to Netflix like "give me $11,000,000 and I'll complete the series."
The actual issue at hand seems to be that the series was never completed more so than what the money was used on.
Should have been smart and just bought drugs so there’s less paper trail. What a fucking wasteful way to get arrested on fraud
In fact, he could have just argued that he did spend the money on "white horse".
If you were curious, best known for directing 47 Ronin, and not much else surprisingly.
"Our price hikes are necessary to keep customer experience excellent."
I remember reading about this guy years ago and at the time the reaction from Netflix seemed to amount to, "You got me! Good one."
His real problem is that he didn't steal $11 billion—then you're apparently untouchable.
The guy has the shortest IMDB page and Netflix just gave him 11 million dollars, the guy is either well connected or is Jeffrey Epstein all over again.
If he was Epstein Netflix would have written off the money and given him some c-suite no-show job to keep him quiet.
Sadly, there’s too much lower level of fraud in the film industry. So much bag egos and broken moral compasses. The fame leads to greed and rinse and repeat.
