Filmmaker Carl Erik Rinsch has been indicted for defrauding Netflix out of $11 million. While working on a sci-fi TV series, Rinsch used funds for personal expenses like luxury cars and high-end hotels instead of completing the project. The charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and unlawful monetary transactions could result in decades in prison. His deteriorating behavior on set and a subsequent divorce filed by his wife compounded the situation, reflecting the unraveling of both his professional and personal life amid the scandal.
According to prosecutors, Rinsch spent Netflix's funds on personal luxuries such as high-end hotels, rentals, and luxury cars instead of completing his promised series.
During production, Rinsch's behavior grew erratic, leading to crew complaints and his wife filing for divorce in 2020.
