Director Of The Biggest Movie Flop Ever Is Completely Broke
Defrauding your employer may seem tempting, but it can lead to severe consequences. Beware of the risks involved.
Before Keanu Reeves made a spectacular comeback with the John Wick franchise, he starred in the flop 47 Ronin released in 2013. While he emerged unscathed, the same cannot be said for director Carl Rinsch.
In a month, the trial against him will begin concerning fraud and money laundering, where he attempted to defraud Netflix. He was arrested in March and paid $100,000 bail to avoid incarceration.
According to the Department of Justice, Rinsch never completed his work on the drama series White Horse/Conquest. The director’s lawyers claim that his financial situation is so dire that he cannot afford to travel to the hearing. Remarkably, the federal judge seems unconcerned by this.
If Rinsch is found guilty, he could face decades in prison. It’s possible that both the executives of the streaming service and Reeves may be called as witnesses.
In 2018, Netflix supposedly paid Rinsch over $61 million for the project White Horse, later renamed Conquest. In 2020, Rinsch claimed he needed another $11 million to complete the series. Instead, he spent this on cars, cryptocurrency, watches, and other endeavors.
