Carl Erik Rinsch, director of the 2013 Keanu Reeves film 47 Ronin, has been arrested and charged with money laundering and wire fraud.

2013 Keanu Reeves電影47 Ronin的董事Carl Erik Rinsch已被捕，並被指控犯有洗錢和電匯欺詐。

A seven-count indictment alleges Rinsch misused $11 million in Netflix funding intended for his science fiction TV series, White Horse. Instead of using the funds to complete the project, he allegedly diverted them to personal accounts for speculative investments, luxury purchases, and legal battles.

一項七項指控指控Rinsch濫用了1100萬美元的Netflix資金，該資金旨在為他的科幻電視連續劇《白馬》。 據稱，他沒有使用資金來完成該項目，而是將他們轉移到個人帳戶中，以進行投機性投資，奢侈品購買和法律鬥爭。

Netflix initially invested $44 million in *White Horse* in 2018. Between 2019 and 2020, Rinsch requested an additional $11 million, claiming it was necessary for production. However, the indictment, filed by Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Matthew Podolsky and FBI Assistant Director Leslie Backschies of the New York Field Office, states he funneled this money through multiple accounts before depositing it into his brokerage account.

Netflix最初在2018年投資了4,400萬美元 *白馬 *。在2019年至2020年之間，Rinsch要求額外的1100萬美元，聲稱這是生產的必要條件。 然而，由紐約南部地區馬修·波多爾斯基（Matthew Podolsky）和聯邦調查局助理董事萊斯利·貝克斯（Leslie Backschies）提起的美國代理律師提起的起訴書指出，他說，他在將這筆錢存入他的經紀帳戶之前，通過多個帳戶匯入了這筆錢。

Rinsch reportedly used the funds to trade cryptocurrencies and stocks. Within two months, he allegedly lost over half the sum on speculative investments, including options and an S&P 500 ETF. Despite initial losses, he reinvested, ultimately making a $4 million Dogecoin investment that was worth $27 million by 2021.

據報導，林奇用這些資金來交易加密貨幣和股票。 據稱，在兩個月內，他損失了超過一半的投機投資，包括期權和標準普爾500 ETF。儘管最初的損失，他還是重新投資，最終進行了400萬美元的Dogecoin投資，到2021年價值2700萬美元。

Authorities further allege he spent approximately $5.3 million on litigation against Netflix, paying off credit card debt, and purchasing a Ferrari and five Rolls-Royces. Despite these extravagant expenditures, White Horse remained unfinished. Netflix reportedly received only six short episodes, far short of the complete series they financed.

當局進一步聲稱，他在針對Netflix的訴訟上花費了約530萬美元，還清了信用卡債務，併購買了法拉利和五個勞斯萊斯。 儘管有這些奢侈的支出，但白馬仍未完成。 據報導，Netflix僅收到了六集，遠遠遠遠沒有他們資助的完整系列。

The 47-year-old Rinsch faces severe penalties. The wire fraud charge carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence. The money laundering charge adds another potential 20 years, and each of the five counts of engaging in monetary transactions in criminally derived property carries a maximum 10-year sentence. If convicted on all counts, Rinsch could face up to 90 years in prison. He was released on a $100,000 bail bond, with no court date yet set.

這位47歲的林奇面臨嚴重的處罰。 電匯欺詐指控最高判處20年徒刑。 洗錢指控增加了另外20年的潛力，五項從事刑事派生財產的貨幣交易的罪名最高10年。 如果罪名成立，林奇將面臨最高90年的監禁。他以100,000美元的保釋保證金獲釋，尚無開庭日期。
