Carl Erik Rinsch has been charged with wire fraud and money laundering over what federal prosecutors allege was a scheme to defraud Netflix .

Prosecutors say Netflix had initially paid about $44 million to purchase an unfinished sci-fi show called “ White Horse’s White Horse” Instead of using the extra money to wrap up production, he transferred the money to a personal brokerage account, where he made a series of failed investments.

The filmmaker then dumped the rest of the money into the cryptocurrency market, which proved to be a profitable move.
