    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.”

    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?

    [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.

      I am also curious what one million dollars of bedding is like

        The same as 700 dollars of foam but you get to massage your pathetic ego when you brag about it to people who think you’re a sad little boy.

      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.

    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.

    If you were curious, best known for directing 47 Ronin, and not much else surprisingly.

    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 more that the series was never completed 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

    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.
