Carl Rinsch was sentenced yesterday. He was convicted last year of defrauding Netflix of $11 million for a series he never completed. (Previously. Previously.)
30 months (or 2 1/2 years) in prison. Which works out to $4,400,000 a year for the money he stole.
Would I do time, in what will probably be a white-collar resort prison, for $4,400,000 a year? Certainly not, as there are things I value more. But I can see that the tradeoff might work for some folks.
Also: “…$638,000 on two mattresses”. How do you spend $319,000 on a mattress? Not from those Internet mattress people for sure.
“…plus another $295,000 on luxury bedding and linens”. What is this I can’t even.
