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》导演卡尔·埃里克·林什 (Carl Erik Rinsch) 花费该剧预算的 400 万美元购买埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 最喜欢的加密货币狗狗币 (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.

据《纽约时报》报道，因电影《47 Ronin》而闻名的导演卡尔·埃里克·林什 (Carl Erik Rinsch) 花费的 Netflix 预算资金原本打算资助科幻剧集《征服》，但最终被用于投资加密货币。

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.

据《纽约时报》报道，Netflix 拨款约 5500 万美元用于新剧的创作。然而，一开始该公司只给了项目团队 4430 万美元。后来，Rinsch 坚持要求这家流媒体巨头额外拨款 1100 万美元，他声称这些资金是用来购买道具的。

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.

据《纽约时报》报道，该董事随后决定将公司额外发行的 1100 万美元用于投资。据称，在额外预算中，他花费了 1,050 万美元购买未知实体的股票，造成至少 600 万美元的损失。接下来，导演转而投资加密货币，额外的 1100 万美元预算只剩下约 400 万美元。据《纽约时报》报道，他决定通过 Kraken 加密货币交易所将剩余资金投资于 DOGE，并于 2021 年 5 月清算了自己的头寸，为他带来了 2300 万美元的利润。

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.

据该董事前妻为一项无关的离婚诉讼聘请的一名法务会计师称，林奇将收入中的近 900 万美元用于购买豪华家具、名牌服装、价值超过 38 万美元的手表、五辆劳斯莱斯汽车和一辆法拉利。

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

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