TL;DR

Director Carl Erik Rinsch was sentenced to 30 months in prison after being convicted of defrauding Netflix of about $11 million. Netflix had funded a $55 million sci‑fi project, Conquest (formerly White Horse), that produced no episodes; prosecutors say Rinsch used the funds for stock market and cryptocurrency bets and to buy luxury items, including Rolls‑Royces and a Ferrari. He cited health issues, but the judge said deceit persisted and emphasized deterrence against fraud.
