    Carl Erik Rinsch was accused of using Netflix funds intended to complete a science fiction series to buy cars, cryptocurrency and other luxuries for himself.

    The 48-year-old, best known for the 2013 film 47 Ronin, was convicted of federal fraud and money laundering for misusing funds.

    47 Ronin made $150 million on a $175-225 million budget and was panned by critics when it came out (13% on Rotten Tomatoes), according to Wikipedia.
