Director faces decade-plus in prison for bilking Netflix out of $11M — as pal Keanu Reeves begs for leniency

Carl Rinsch has been found guilty of embezzling $11 million in production funds from Netflix, which were intended for a sci-fi series titled “White Horse.” This serious financial misconduct could see him facing over a decade behind bars. Adding a twist to the story, actor Keanu Reeves, a friend of Rinsch's, publicly pleaded for leniency on his behalf. This case underscores the severe consequences of financial fraud, especially within major companies like Netflix, and highlights the lengths to which personal relationships can sometimes influence legal proceedings.
