…after which, with truly world-historical chutzpah, he claims that Netflix should also pay him an additional $14 million.

I can only assume that his demand for payment ends with the phrase, “Why? Because gently caress you, that’s why.”

Seriously, that is a truly amazing grift/mental breakdown. Assuming he got to keep the luxury cars and “couture clothing” that he bought with Netflixbucks. Or hell, even if he didn’t… He got to enjoy them for a while, and somehow is not in jail as a result.

A recruiter for Netflix sent me an email asking if I would be interested in a Quality Assurance Manager role in their Netflix Video Games division.

I was unaware Netflix had a games division. What the gently caress

You should take the job, apparently their business model is to just hand people money, and then use the honor system for how it gets spent. You could make a killing in crypto!

Crypto bro a charlatan? Oh my! This is a new development, generally the bitcoin world is filled with honest, well meaning people who just want to get rich doing nothing while participating in a system built on money laundering and child abuse.

In the corporate and finance world you due diligence the poo poo out of the people involved before you entrust them with $55m. Coked up showrunners, sexual predator actors, pedophile tweet directors are things you find out before you sign the contract. Hollywood does things a different way :shrug:

Also the show’s premise sounded tired as gently caress. Like you’re going to improve on Blade Runner and/or The Mitchells Vs The Machines? I think not!

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Trouble surfaced almost immediately during shoots in Budapest. Rinsch displayed increasingly erratic behavior, allegedly staying awake for days on end, hurling objects around set, and accusing his wife and co-creator Gabriela Rosés Bentancor of plotting to murder him. Multiple insiders raised concerns Rinsch had become dependent on ADHD medication Vyvanse.

Rosés described Rinsch deteriorating mentally over months of production delays. At one point he fixated on imaginary “organic intelligent forces” represented by passing airplanes. He also claimed to have mapped coronavirus signals within the earth’s core.

By March 2020, Rinsch had blown through $44 million of Netflix’s upfront commitment. When he returned cap-in-hand for another cash infusion, the company reluctantly transferred $11 million more. Rinsch promptly sunk almost $6 million into speculative biotech stock bets, which he lost. Later, as crypto markets rallied, he would credit God and crypto when his Dogecoin moonshot cashed out at $27 million.

i'm only like 50% as crazy and stupid as this guy and i have all kinds of dumb scifi ideas why isn't anyone giving me $44 millions of dollars

It absolutely happens, but when it happens it was either a known risk (SoftBank’s hugely speculative investments) or a systemic failure in due diligence (1MDB scandal).

In Hollywood due diligence is not even a thing. It’s a nuts way to manage dozens or hundreds of millions of dollars.

This is why you don't let people without ADHD take ADHD meds. How do you even get a Vyvanse dependency? Isn't Vyvanse a pro-drug?
