Hollywood director Carl Erik Rinsch was convicted on Thursday of defrauding Netflix out of $11 milion (£8.2m) for a science fiction show that never got made.
A federal jury in Manhattan found Rinsch guilty on multiple counts of wire fraud and money laundering, concluding that Rinsch, 48, had siphoned off the funds intended for his long-delayed series White Horse and used them to fund a life of luxury.
