Hollywood writer-director Carl Rinsch is sentenced to about 2½ years in prison after a conviction for defrauding Netflix of about $11 million related to a science-fiction series that was never finished. Multiple outlets report that Rinsch was sentenced Monday to a 30-month term following his December conviction. Prosecutors said Rinsch told Netflix he needed $11 million to complete the show, but instead spent substantial portions of the money on personal luxury items and other purchases, according to testimony cited by CBS News. Those reports include allegations of spending on items such as luxury cars and watches, with CBS News also detailing a figure of $638,000 for two mattresses. The New York Times and other sources describe the $11 million as funding the series that had been pitched to Netflix. The court’s decision is also described as being on the lower end of sentencing guidelines by The Hollywood Reporter, which attributes that outcome to evidence of an untreated mental health condition. Supporters, including actor Keanu Reeves, asked the court for leniency, as reflected in several accounts.
