Netflix is accusing Conquest director Carl Erik Rinsch of spending $4 million of the series’ budget on the purchase of Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (DOGE).

Netflix 指控《征服》導演卡爾·埃里克·林什 (Carl Erik Rinsch) 花費該劇預算的 400 萬美元購買 Elon Musk 最喜歡的加密貨幣狗狗幣 (DOGE)。

According to The New York Times, Netflix’s budget money, which was spent by director Carl Erik Rinsch, famous for the film 47 Ronin, was intended to finance the science fiction series Conquest, but was instead used to make investments in cryptocurrency.

根據《紐約時報》報道，因電影《47 Ronin》而聞名的導演卡爾·埃里克·林什(Carl Erik Rinsch) 花費的Netflix 預算資金原本打算資助科幻劇集《征服》，但最終被用於投資加密貨幣。

As per the New York Times report, Netflix allocated roughly $55 million for the creation of the new series. At first, however, the company only gave the project team $44.3 million. Later, Rinsch insisted the streaming giant allocate an additional $11 million, which he claimed was needed for props.

根據《紐約時報》報道，Netflix 撥款約 5500 萬美元用於新劇的創作。然而，一開始該公司只給了專案團隊 4,430 萬美元。後來，Rinsch 堅持要求這家串流媒體巨頭額外撥款 1,100 萬美元，他聲稱這些資金是用來購買道具的。

The director then decided to spend the additional $11 million issued by the company on investments, according to the New York Times report. Of the additional budget, he allegedly spent $10.5 million for shares in unknown entities, incurring at least $6 million in losses. Next, the director switched to investing in cryptocurrency, with only about $4 million remaining from the additional $11 million extra budget. He reportedly decided to invest the rest in DOGE through the Kraken crypto exchange, liquidating his position in May 2021, netting him $23 million in profits, per the New York Times.

根據《紐約時報》報道，該董事隨後決定將公司額外發行的 1,100 萬美元用於投資。據稱，在額外預算中，他花了 1,050 萬美元購買未知實體的股票，造成至少 600 萬美元的損失。接下來，導演轉而投資加密貨幣，額外的 1,100 萬美元預算只剩下約 400 萬美元。根據《紐約時報》報道，他決定透過 Kraken 加密貨幣交易所將剩餘資金投資於 DOGE，並於 2021 年 5 月清算了自己的頭寸，為他帶來了 2,300 萬美元的利潤。

According to a forensic accountant hired by the director’s ex-wife for an unrelated divorce proceeding, Rinsch spent almost $9 million of his earnings on luxury furniture, designer clothes, watches worth more than $380,000, five Rolls-Royce cars, and a Ferrari.

據該董事前妻為一項無關的離婚訴訟聘請的一名法務會計師稱，林奇將收入中的近900 萬美元用於購買豪華家具、名牌服裝、價值超過38 萬美元的手錶、五輛勞斯萊斯汽車和一輛法拉利。

Rinsch claims that all purchases were made as props for Conquest.

林什聲稱所有購買都是作為征服的道具。

As of the time of writing, legal proceedings are ongoing between the director and Netflix.
