Filmmaker Sentenced for Netflix Fraud | Venice Beach News

Filmmaker Carl Rinsch, director of “47 Ronin,” is heading to federal prison after being sentenced to 30 months for stealing $11 million from Netflix — money meant for his show “White Horse.” He allegedly diverted funds for luxury cars, crypto, and even hired lawyers for his divorce and lawsuit against Netflix. Despite claims of mental health struggles and medication issues, the court heard Rinsch admitted he didn’t recognize his own state. Even Keanu Reeves pleaded for leniency. Rinsch must also forfeit the stolen money and serve three years of supervised release — a stern warning to anyone entrusted with big budgets in Hollywood.
