Noxy ( @noxypaws@pawb.social ) English30•9 days agoFive Rolls and a Ferrari? How fucking boring.
YiddishMcSquidish ( @YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today ) English13•9 days agoBro fucking seriously! At least throw an Aston Martin in the mix, or a lotus. Or with the kinda fuck you money he’s surely got, get a fucking Koenigsegg and get some real respect. Imagine winning a small local lottery and buying five rolexes and calling yourself a time piece connoisseur. Money is fucking wasted on the rich!

Is it really just because other people might think you don’t drive a super expensive car, or can’t put a mental price tag on the car you drive?

Those were pre-inflation dollars. You could buy like, forty eggs with it.
vithigar ( @vithigar@lemmy.ca ) English11•9 days agoI’d be interested to see the actual wording of the agreement for that extra $11 million that was allegedly “defrauded”. Was it actually stipulated that the money had to be spent on the series, or did he just walk up to Netflix like “give me $11,000,000 and I’ll complete the series.”
The actual issue at hand seems to be that the series was never completed more so than what the money was used on.
Gerudo ( @Gerudo@lemm.ee ) English8•9 days agoIf you were curious, best known for directing 47 Ronin, and not much else surprisingly.
xyzzy ( @xyzzy@lemm.ee ) English6•9 days agoI remember reading about this guy years ago and at the time the reaction from Netflix seemed to amount to, “You got me! Good one.”
His real problem is that he didn’t steal $11 billion—then you’re apparently untouchable.
ABetterTomorrow ( @ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee ) English5•9 days agoSadly, there’s too much lower level of fraud in the film industry. So much bag egos and broken moral compasses. The fame leads to greed and rinse and repeat.
