The director of Netflix’s sci-fi series Conquest reportedly allocated $4 million from the show’s budget to invest in Dogecoin, ultimately yielding a $27 million return. Carl Erik Rinsch, known for directing “47 Ronin,” received substantial funding from Netflix for the science fiction series.

據報道，Netflix 科幻影集《征服》的導演從該劇的預算中撥款 400 萬美元投資狗狗幣，最終獲得了 2700 萬美元的回報。因執導《浪人 47》而聞名的卡爾·埃里克·林什 (Carl Erik Rinsch) 因這部科幻劇集獲得了 Netflix 的大量資助。

However, instead of channeling these funds solely into the series, Rinsch used the money to explore ventures in the stock and cryptocurrency markets as a unique creative pursuit.

然而，Rinsch 並沒有將這些資金僅僅投入到該系列中，而是將這些資金用於探索股票和加密貨幣市場的風險投資，作為一種獨特的創意追求。

Netflix Director’s $27M Crypto Gamble

The New York Times reported the behind-the-scenes drama on the chronicles of “Conquest,” which began when Netflix invested $55 million in the ambitious sci-fi series directed by Rinsch. However, despite doling out a considerable budget, the streaming giant has yet to see a single episode.

《紐約時報》報導了《征服》編年史的幕後故事，這部劇始於 Netflix 投資 5500 萬美元拍攝由林什執導的這部雄心勃勃的科幻劇集。然而，儘管投入了大量預算，這家串流媒體巨頭還沒有看到一集。

March 2020 marked a pivotal moment in the Conquest saga when, 16 months after Netflix greenlit Rinsch’s vision with an initial budget of $44 million, the director sought more funds. Netflix obliged, wiring an additional $11 million under the condition that the series would be completed.

2020 年 3 月標誌著征服傳奇的關鍵時刻，在 Netflix 以 4400 萬美元的初始預算批准 Rinsch 的願景 16 個月後，導演尋求更多資金。 Netflix 答應了，並額外支付了 1100 萬美元，條件是該劇必須完成。

Instead of channeling the funds into production, Rinsch invested $10.5 million in the stock market. However, his options bets on pharmaceutical companies and the S&P 500 reportedly resulted in a loss of nearly $6 million in just a few weeks.

Rinsch 沒有將資金投入生產，而是在股票市場投資了 1,050 萬美元。然而，據報道，他對製藥公司和標準普爾 500 指數的選擇權押注在短短幾週內就損失了近 600 萬美元。

Undeterred, Rinsch pivoted to the cryptocurrency market, transferring the remaining $4 million to the popular exchange Kraken. With nerves of steel, he went all in on Dogecoin. The gamble paid off handsomely as Rinsch liquidated his holdings in May 2021, netting $27 million in profits. A chat with a Kraken representative captured his gratitude, “Thank you, and god bless crypto.”

Rinsch 沒有被嚇倒，他轉向了加密貨幣市場，將剩餘的 400 萬美元轉移到了受歡迎的交易所 Kraken。憑藉著鋼鐵般的意志，他全力投資狗狗幣。隨著 Rinsch 於 2021 年 5 月清算其所持股份，這場賭博獲得了豐厚的回報，淨賺了 2,700 萬美元。與 Kraken 代表的一次聊天表達了他的感激之情，“謝謝你，上帝保佑加密貨幣。”

What followed the crypto windfall was a huge spending spree. Rinsch allegedly splurged nearly $9 million on opulent indulgences, including high-end furniture, designer clothing, a luxury watch valued at over $380,000, five Rolls Royces, and a Ferrari. These expenditures, revealed in divorce proceedings by a forensic accountant hired by Rinsch’s ex-wife, raise questions about the director’s financial prudence.

加密貨幣帶來的意外之財之後是一場巨大的消費熱潮。據稱，Rinsch 花費近 900 萬美元購買奢華享受，包括高端家具、名牌服裝、價值超過 38 萬美元的豪華手錶、五輛勞斯萊斯和一輛法拉利。林什前妻聘請的一名法務會計師在離婚訴訟中披露了這些支出，引發了人們對這位董事財務審慎性的質疑。

Rinsch Seeks $14M From Netflix

The New York Times also reported that Rinsch initiated a confidential arbitration proceeding against Netflix, alleging a breach of contract and claiming $14 million in damages. Netflix has denied any obligation to Rinsch, characterizing his demands as a “shakedown.”

《紐約時報》還報道稱，林什對 Netflix 發起了保密仲裁程序，指控 Netflix 違反合同，並要求賠償 1400 萬美元。 Netflix 否認對林什承擔任何義務，並將他的要求描述為「勒索」。

In a deposition, Rinsch claimed that the items purchased during his nearly $9 million spending spree were props for the Conquest series. However, he later argued in the case against Netflix that the funds were, in fact, his own, and he is entitled to an additional $14 million. A ruling on the matter is anticipated soon, as the case was heard before an arbitrator in November.

Rinsch 在一份證詞中聲稱，他在近 900 萬美元的瘋狂消費中購買的物品是《征服》系列的道具。然而，他後來在針對 Netflix 的案件中辯稱，這些資金實際上是他自己的，他有權獲得額外的 1400 萬美元。仲裁員已於 11 月審理此案，預計很快就會對此事作出裁決。
