His mistake was stealing from the rich.
“Today’s sentence sends a deterrent message: Fraud will not be tolerated,” US Attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement.
Trump, the GOP, The SEC, most large corporations, the military, defense contractors, energy companies etc…
Anyone remember the old drug commercial where the dad confront his son with his drug paraphanalia?
Where did you learn to commit fraud?
I learned it from you! Lol!
It’s wild that he thought he could get away with it
I would be really excited if it was directed by Carl Erik Rinsch
Worth it.
Honestly, this would make for a good Netflix documentary.
I know a director looking for work.
He’s too busy, he’s slammed for a few years.
From the article:
"A Hollywood director convicted of defrauding Netflix of $11m (£8.3m) last year has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison.
Carl Erik Rinsch was accused of using Netflix funds intended to complete a science fiction series to buy cars, cryptocurrency and other luxuries for himself.
The 48-year-old, best known for the 2013 film 47 Ronin, was convicted of federal fraud and money laundering for misusing funds.
Rinsch faced up to 90 years in prison, but was expected to receive a lighter sentence.
Judge Jay Rakoff also sentenced Rinsch to three years of supervised release, $11m in forfeitures, and a $700 fine."

It must be nice to be rich. If you get cought, it’s just “oops I’ll give it back plus some pocket change.”
“Today’s sentence sends a deterrent message: Fraud will not be tolerated,” US Attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement.
No it does not.
What sentence were you hoping for?
You should look at what China or Vietnam do to corporate fraudsters and embezzlers.
Don’t know, seems like a victimless crime. Everyone should liberate funds from Netflix
The same sentence I would get.
What would you get as director who agreed to make something for Netflix then spent all the money on yourself instead?
Seems like a weird case. Not sure what would be justice here. Hell, I’m not sure deterrence even matters since this doesn’t ever seem to happen. Like, no one ever giving you a dime to make anything ever again is probably deterrent enough, no?
