Netflix Director Arrested for $11 Million Fraud, Spent $2.4 million on five Rolls-Royces and one Ferrari
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.
Bro fucking seriously! At least throw an Aston Martin in the mix, or a lotus. Or with the kinda fuck you money he's surely got, get a fucking Koenigsegg and get some real respect. Imagine winning a small local lottery and buying five rolexes and calling yourself a time piece connoisseur. Money is fucking wasted on the rich!
I will never understand how people have that much fuck you money and not just build a custom car. Is it really just because other people might think you don't drive a super expensive car, or can't put a mental price tag on the car you drive?
Where are all the fraudulent millionaires who could be doing some real shit like feeding Africa or building combat drones for Ukraine?
3Mil in VYM is enough to pay you a decent salary for the rest of your life, people with wealth have absolutely no idea what to do with it all.
Rich people are boring as fuck.
[from a breakdown of expenditures]
- Spent $638,000 on two luxury mattresses
- Spent $295,000 on luxury bedding and linens
Hot damn, and I thought my current $700 foam mattress was overkill.
Imagine going from sleeping in this, to sleeping in a prison bunk.
The drop-off must be astonishingly jarring.
What an idiot. This is what happens when your appetites and cravings are a bottomless pit, while lacking any self-control and any sense of scale.
It's like Pi (yeah, that one, 3.1416)...
Whether it's a tiny circle or one the size of the universe, Pi remains constant. Like with this guy, the appetite remains this constant mindless thing at every size and price level.
Please get yourself a better mattress. It's one of the few things that's worth spending more on.
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.
If you were curious, best known for directing 47 Ronin, and not much else surprisingly.
And not white horse apparently lol
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".
What is a Netflix director? Do we call directors by who they worked for previously? “Warner brothers director James Gunn..”
In case you're not being facetious, he was contracted to direct a series for Netflix from which the alleged fraud occurred. They refer to him as a Hollywood director in the article.
"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.
