Director Carl Rinsch Sentenced for Misusing Netflix Funds for Sci-Fi Series
American director Carl Rinsch was sentenced to 30 months in prison for misusing $11 million paid by Netflix in 2020 to produce the sci-fi series "White Horse." Prosecutors stated Rinsch diverted funds to personal accounts, investing in speculative stocks and cryptocurrency, and purchasing luxury items including cars and furniture. Rinsch's lawyers cited career pressure and a contentious divorce as factors. He was also ordered to forfeit the misused amount. The series was intended to depict a scientist creating clones in a Brazilian city.
