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.

I was part of that $150 million in the theater can confirm the reviews are accurate. Aggressively mediocre.

That's after the 11M forfeiture. If he made any profit on it seems he still gets that which is wild imo.
