  1. >$28,000 Sofa

    This has gotta be many people “if I won’t the lottery I wouldn’t tell people, but there will be signs”

  2. Up to $26,000,000.00 and he spent it all.

    Yeah, they deserve their money back.

    And I hate Netflix, they’re a deeply shitty company, but even they don’t deserve this shit.

  3. filmmaker: yo, i need more money for this project

    netflix: alright, lemme just wire $11 million to your bank account, we trust you.

  4. This list is bizarrely specific. “Honey I’m loaded. Go out and buy the finest linen in the land. Don’t scrimp on the tog size, I’m feeling naughty!”.

  5. The story is so entertaining that Netflix can make their money back if they made it a documentary

  6. Can’t they just earn it back on their next price hike next month?

  7. What a fucking moron.

    Like the way he spent money is outrageous but to think you just get to say whoopsie it’s gone after clearly committing fraud is fucking shockingly idiotic.

  8. That’s really not that much for a sofa in this economy.

  9. Is the couch made of gold??? Even if I was that rich I could never imagine buying a couch that expensive .

  10. >At an arbitration hearing, Rinsch testified that this behavior was the result of his neurodiversity — specifically, autism spectrum disorder.

    This is insulting to people who have this. Autism spectrum disorder does not turn you into a selfish idiot who spends $400K of Netflix money on a mattress and gambling on crypto bets.

  11. They could honestly pay me 1 mil and i would be aight.
    Id animate an entire series in a year with that 😭.

  12. Could he say that he was filming a documentary or game show for Netflix?

  13. Thought this part was interesting:

    At an arbitration hearing, Rinsch testified that this behavior was the result of his neurodiversity — specifically, autism spectrum disorder.

    “Whatever’s going on there, I can tell you it’s not drug-induced,” he said. “It’s not mentally ill. It’s exacerbating a different neurotype that most people might not be able to understand.”

  14. I really want to see the $28,000 sofa. Forget everything else

  15. Why did they let him make bail? They should have held him in jail till his trial date. He’s definitely going to escape somewhere.

  16. I bet you’d have a lot of fun on a couch that expensive. It wouldn’t be a pull-out sofa if you know what I mean.

  17. Im friends with a lawyer involved in this mess. Can’t say what side or any details but oh boy is this guy a nut job.

  18. Is the $100,000 bond money part of the $11 million Netflix wants back?

  19. Don’t let JD Vance know about that sofa. He might try to buy it off of him.

  20. Guess he shouldn’t have VP Vance in his house with a $28,000 sofa.

  21. Does this couch teleport? Why does a couch cost that much?!
