A Hollywood director has been sentenced to prison for defrauding Netflix. Carl Rinsch was given a 2 1/2 year sentence after being convicted of taking $11 million for a sci-fi series that was never finished. Rinsch is known for his work on a 2013 samurai film.

He had supporters, including Keanu Reeves, who asked the court to be lenient in his sentencing. Further details on the case are available from KSAT 12, including the circumstances surrounding the fraud conviction and Rinsch's sentencing.
