Netflix gave director Carl Erik Rinsch millions to produce the sci-fi series "Conquest."

Netflix 嚮導演 Carl Erik Rinsch 提供了數百萬美元來製作科幻影集《征服》。

But Rinsch used the money to trade stocks and crypto and then splurge on luxury goods. 

但林奇用這筆錢交易股票和加密貨幣，然後揮霍購買奢侈品。

Budget Allocations and Additional Funding

預算分配和額外資金

Director Carl Erik Rinsch, known for his work on "47 Ronin," faced allegations of financial mismanagement after diverting Netflix's production budget for the sci-fi series "Conquest" into cryptocurrency and stock trading.

因《47 Ronin》而聞名的導演卡爾·埃里克·林什(Carl Erik Rinsch) 在將Netflix 科幻劇集《征服》的製作預算轉用於加密貨幣和股票交易後，面臨財務管理不善的指控。

In November 2018, Netflix granted Rinsch's production company a $61.2 million budget for "Conquest." By March 2020, $44.3 million had already been spent, leading Rinsch to request an additional $11 million, which Netflix approved.

2018 年 11 月，Netflix 向林什的製作公司授予了 6,120 萬美元的《征服》預算。到 2020 年 3 月，已經花費了 4,430 萬美元，Rinsch 請求額外支付 1,100 萬美元，Netflix 批准了這項請求。

Mismanagement Unveiled

管理不善暴露

This is where the mismanagement of funds comes in, as revealed by the director’s financial dealings during his divorce proceedings. Instead of channeling the funds towards production costs, Rinsch pulled out $10.5 million and placed options bets on pharmaceutical companies and the S&P 500 in the stock market, where he suffered a $5.9 million loss. 

這就是資金管理不善的根源，正如該董事在離婚訴訟期間的財務交易所所揭示的那樣。 Rinsch 沒有將資金用於生產成本，而是拿出 1,050 萬美元，對製藥公司和標準普爾 500 指數股票市場的選擇權進行押注，結果損失了 590 萬美元。

Facing setbacks in stocks, Rinsch shifted his focus to the crypto market. Investing $4 million in DOGE through Kraken, he managed to turn the tide, earning a substantial $27 million.

面對股市的挫折，Rinsch 將注意力轉向了加密貨幣市場。他透過 Kraken 向 DOGE 投資了 400 萬美元，成功扭轉了局面，賺取了 2700 萬美元的巨額利潤。

Rather than reinvesting in the series, Rinsch indulged in extravagant purchases, including $9 million in high-end furniture, designer clothing, luxury watches exceeding $380,000, five Rolls Royces, and a Ferrari, according to his ex-wife's forensic accountant.

據林什前妻的法務會計師稱，林什並沒有對這個系列進行再投資，而是沉迷於奢侈的購買，包括價值900 萬美元的高端家具、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。

Netflix's Response And Legal Dispute

Netflix的回應與法律糾紛

Despite the financial windfall, Rinsch failed to deliver any episodes of "Conquest." Netflix's spokesperson, Thomas Cherian, said they had written off the series, emphasizing that 

儘管獲得了意外之財，林什還是未能推出《征服》的任何一集。 Netflix 發言人 Thomas Cherian 表示，他們已經取消了該劇，並強調

"Mr. Rinsch was never going to complete the project he agreed to make."

“林什先生永遠不會完成他同意的項目。”

Rinsch and Netflix are currently engaged in confidential arbitration proceedings, which were initiated by Rinsch under the claims of being owed $14 million in damages for breach of contract. Netflix refutes these claims, denouncing them as a "shakedown."

Rinsch 和 Netflix 目前正在進行保密仲裁程序，該程序由 Rinsch 發起，聲稱因違約而欠下 1400 萬美元的賠償金。 Netflix 駁斥了這些說法，並譴責其是「整頓」。

In the deposition, Rinsch attempted to justify his purchases in the almost $9 million spending spree as props for "Conquest." 

在證詞中，林什試圖證明他為《征服》花費近 900 萬美元的瘋狂購買是合理的。

However, Netflix remains firm, stating that the funds were meant for production, and Rinsch's actions demonstrate a failure to fulfill his agreed-upon obligations.

然而，Netflix 態度堅決，表示這些資金是用於製作的，林什的行為表明他未能履行約定的義務。

Ruling To Come Soon

即將做出裁決

As the legal battle unfolds, Rinsch's questionable financial decisions not only jeopardized the production of "Conquest" but also cast a shadow over his professional integrity. Netflix's firm stance signals a tough road ahead for the director in proving his case and reclaiming alleged damages. 

隨著法律訴訟的展開，林什可疑的財務決策不僅危及了《征服》的製作，也為他的職業操守蒙上了陰影。 Netflix 的堅定立場表明，這位導演在舉證並索回所謂的損害賠償方面將面臨艱難的道路。

The case was presented before an arbitrator in November, and the involved parties are expecting a ruling soon. 

該案已於 11 月提交給仲裁員，相關各方預計很快就會有裁決。
