Netflix show developer to stand trial for $11 million spending spree, including 5 Rolls-Royces, $638,000 in mattresses

Jurors can expect to hear a rollicking Hollywood tale featuring a bidding war (a half-dozen streamers, including Amazon, had vied for the project's rights) and at least one celebrity (Keanu Reeves was an early investor, according to the New York Times.) They'll likely see raw footage from Rinsch's dystopian, AI-themed thriller, "White Horse," turning a federal courtroom in Manhattan into the project's first public screening venue. And they'll hear extensive details of Rinsch's spending - with what prosecutors contend was Netflix's money - on cars, watches, clothing, luxury rentals, and those two very pricey premium mattresses.
