Director Carl Rinsch sentenced to 2.5 years for Netflix fraud over unfinished sci‑fi show

Hollywood director Carl Rinsch was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison after being convicted of defrauding Netflix of about $11 million for an unfinished sci‑fi series called White Horse. Prosecutors said he diverted funds to a personal account and then spent on luxury cars, watches, clothes, and even $638,000 on two mattresses, later moving some money into crypto; his defense cited mental health issues. He owes roughly $11 million in restitution and is due to report to prison in September.
