3 月 19 日,2013 年由基努·里维斯主演的电影《47 浪人》的导演卡尔·林施,于周二在西好莱坞被捕,被控电汇欺诈和洗钱罪名。据称,他从一家“知名流媒体平台”(多份报道显然指 Netflix)挪用了 1100 万美元的资金。
检察官指控,林施在 2020 年向一家流媒体服务请求额外资金以完成他的科幻系列剧《白马》,但他却将这笔钱转移到个人账户,并开始进行证券交易。检察官称,在此之前,他的制作公司已收到 4400 万美元的付款。根据声明,到 2020 年 4 月底,林施通过高风险投资损失了超过一半的资金,包括“高度投机的期权和加密货币交易”,以及追踪标普 500 指数的 ETF。
起诉书称,林施还利用这些资金“进行加密货币投机——最终证明是有利可图的”。林施还利用这些收益花费了 240 万美元购买了五辆劳斯莱斯和一辆法拉利,370 万美元用于家具和古董,65.2 万美元用于手表和服装,63.8 万美元购买了两张床垫,以及 29.5 万美元用于购买豪华床上用品和亚麻制品。
