Carl Erik Rinsch, the director of '47 Ronin', has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison after a jury found he defrauded Netflix of $11 million in production funding, then moved part of the money into Dogecoin and watched it grow to about $27 million before spending millions on luxury items, including two mattresses costing around $638,000. Prosecutors said the cash, intended to finish his Netflix science‑fiction series, was diverted into personal investments and high‑end purchases instead of production.
