The director of Netflix’s sci-fi series “Conquest” has reportedly used a significant portion of the show’s budget to bet on Dogecoin, a popular cryptocurrency. He managed to make a staggering $27 million from his investment. Now, the director, Carl Erik Rinsch, is demanding an additional $14 million from Netflix. According to a report in The New York Times, Rinsch used $4 million from the show’s budget to invest in Dogecoin and made a substantial profit. However, he now claims that Netflix owes him more money and has launched a confidential arbitration proceeding against the streaming giant. Netflix denies owing Rinsch anything and has referred to his demands as a shakedown. Rinsch allegedly spent a significant portion of his profits on luxury items, including high-end furniture, designer clothing, and luxury vehicles. A ruling on the case is expected soon.
