Hollywood director sentenced to 30 months for gambling Netflix funds on Dogecoin

Carl Rinsch, director of '47 Ronin,' was sentenced to 30 months for defrauding Netflix of $11 million, which he used to trade Dogecoin and buy luxury cars and watches.

  • Rinsch took $11 million from Netflix claiming it was to finish a TV show, then gambled it on stocks and crypto.
  • He turned $4 million into $27 million by betting on Dogecoin via Kraken in 2021.
  • He spent millions on five Rolls-Royces, a Ferrari, furniture, watches, and lawyers to sue Netflix.
  • The show was never completed and Netflix never got its money back.
  • Prosecutors sought 5 years; the judge gave 30 months, well below the 90-year maximum.

Why our editor rated this negative
