In an audacious financial play, Carl Erik Rinsch, the director of Netflix’s sci-fi series “Conquest,” reportedly magnified a $4 million investment in Dogecoin to a whopping $27 million. This unexpected windfall is part of a larger, dramatic narrative involving Rinsch’s handling of the series’ budget.

据报道，在一部大胆的金融剧中，Netflix 科幻剧集《征服》的导演卡尔·埃里克·林什 (Carl Erik Rinsch) 将狗狗币的 400 万美元投资扩大到了高达 2700 万美元。这笔意外之财是林奇对该剧预算处理的更大、更戏剧化的故事的一部分。

Dogecoin Windfall And Extravagant Expenditure

狗狗币横财和奢侈开支

Rinsch’s journey into the crypto realm began after he faced significant losses in the stock market. Financial records show that after receiving an additional $11 million from Netflix to support “Conquest,” Rinsch allocated $10.5 million to stock market ventures, primarily in pharmaceutical companies and the S&P 500. These risky options trades resulted in a loss of nearly $6 million in just a few weeks, leaving him with a little over $4 million.

Rinsch 在股市遭受重大损失后开始了进入加密货币领域的旅程。财务记录显示，在从 Netflix 额外获得 1,100 万美元用于支持《征服》后，林奇向股票市场投资（主要是制药公司和标准普尔 500 指数）分配了 1,050 万美元。这些高风险的期权交易仅导致了近 600 万美元的损失。几周后，他只剩下略多于 400 万美元的资金。

In a bold pivot, Rinsch transferred the remaining funds to the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, where he invested heavily in Dogecoin, a then-emerging digital currency inspired by an internet meme. His investment coincided with an extraordinary surge in Dogecoin’s value, culminating in him cashing out around $27 million in May 2021, as evidenced by an account statement seen by the Times.

林奇大胆地将剩余资金转移到加密货币交易所 Kraken，在那里他大量投资了狗狗币，这是一种受互联网迷因启发的当时新兴的数字货币。他的投资恰逢狗狗币价值大幅飙升，最终他在 2021 年 5 月兑现了约 2700 万美元，《纽约时报》看到的一份账户报表证明了这一点。

Following this success, Rinsch reportedly expressed his gratitude in an online chat with a Kraken representative, saying, “Thank you and god bless crypto.” However, Rinsch’s windfall quickly translated into extravagant spending.

据报道，在这一成功之后，Rinsch 在与 Kraken 代表的在线聊天中表达了他的感激之情，他说：“谢谢你，上帝保佑加密货币。”然而，林什的意外之财很快就转化为奢侈的支出。

He embarked on a lavish spree, purchasing five Rolls-Royces, a Ferrari, a high-priced Vacheron Constantin watch valued at $387,630, and an assortment of luxury furniture and designer clothing. The total expenditure amounted to $8.7 million, as determined by a forensic accountant hired by Ms. Rosés, Rinsch’s then-wife.

他开始了奢侈的狂欢，购买了五辆劳斯莱斯、一辆法拉利、一块价值387,6​​30美元的高价江诗丹顿手表，以及各种豪华家具和名牌服装。根据 Rinsch 时任妻子 Rosés 女士聘请的法务会计师确定，总支出为 870 万美元。

The spending raised suspicions during Rinsch’s acrimonious divorce from Ms. Rosés. Her legal team speculated that these purchases might be an attempt to conceal his cryptocurrency profits. In response, Rinsch claimed in a deposition that these items were props for “Conquest,” funded by Netflix’s production money.

在林什与罗塞斯女士激烈离婚期间，这些支出引起了怀疑。她的法律团队推测这些购买可能是为了隐瞒他的加密货币利润。作为回应，林什在一份证词中声称，这些物品是《征服》的道具，由 Netflix 的制作资金资助。

“Conquest” Is Written Off

“征服”被注销

Remarkably, Rinsch’s financial upswing stands in sharp contrast to the fate of “Conquest.” Netflix, having invested over $55 million in the series, has yet to receive a single completed episode.

值得注意的是，林奇的经济繁荣与“征服”的命运形成鲜明对比。 Netflix 在该剧上投资了超过 5500 万美元，但尚未收到任何完整的剧集。

Rinsch’s unconventional financial maneuvers and erratic behavior during the production have led to a standoff with Netflix. The streaming giant is now embroiled in a confidential arbitration process with Rinsch, who claims a breach of contract and seeks at least $14 million in damages. Netflix, contesting these claims, views Rinsch’s demands as unfounded.

林什在制作过程中非常规的财务策略和古怪的行为导致了与 Netflix 的对峙。这家流媒体巨头现在卷入了与 Rinsch 的保密仲裁程序，Rinsch 声称违反合同，并寻求至少 1400 万美元的损失赔偿。 Netflix 对这些说法提出质疑，认为林什的要求毫无根据。

Thomas Cherian, a spokesman for Netflix, highlighted the company’s extensive support for Rinsch’s series, noting the eventual decision to write off the project due to the realization that Rinsch was not on track to complete it.

Netflix 发言人托马斯·切里安 (Thomas Cherian) 强调了该公司对林奇系列剧的广泛支持，并指出，由于意识到林奇无法按计划完成该项目，最终决定取消该项目。
