A Hollywood writer-director has been sentenced to prison for defrauding Netflix. The case involved a never-finished sci-fi series and $11 million in fraudulent funds. The director, Carl Rinsch, received a sentence of 2 1/2 years in prison.

Rinsch is known for his work on a 2013 samurai film. Further details on the case are available from KPRC 2 in Houston, including information on supporters who asked the court for leniency, such as Keanu Reeves.
