Whoa crazy.
Director Carl Erik Rinsch aressted for stealing $11 millions from Netflix and spending it on luxuries and lavish lifestyle: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/net…
At first he lost half of the $11M in failed investments and then recouped some losses with crypto currency gambling.
Actually Netflix blew over $40-50 million on him and his production that never materialized.
I still remember his ads way back and his short film "The Gift".
He was also represented by Ridley Scott's commercial production company RSA and was married to his daughter.
And I can remember him defending his movie flop 47ronin on Twitter which was very cringe. He was arguing with individuals made a really bad look of himself.

Brussels sees America’s transatlantic trade surplus in services as its Achilles’ heel.BRUSSELS — It’s one thing to hit Harley-Davidson motorbikes and bourbon whiskey. It’s another to go after Silicon Valley or Wall Street.
The European Union is considering opening up a new battlefront as President Donald Trump prepares to impose so-called reciprocal tariffs on all of America’s trading partners on Wednesday.

Amid a market selloff, FoxNews.com this morning makes no mention of the stock market on its homepage. Undoubtedly, the movement in markets is the biggest news story in America this morning, so far. Foxnews is actively hiding the biggest story. The only mention of tariffs is the sixth story down. A status update about the “countries that have already folded.”
This is one of the clearest examples of media bias I’ve seen in recent times.
The thing about the market is, you can’t fool it. You can’t lie. It is merely an indicator of the sentiment of business.
I know that most of us here know very well that foxnews is fake news but it’s worth noting at this moment that there is, today, very obvious and unimpeachable proof that foxnews is bullshit.
The markets don’t lie. Fox does.
If you know someone who watches fox, this is a great week to show them how they’re being duped.

- LULZ at “market is up today” as if that has any bearing on what I wrote above********
- You wrote that markets don’t lie. Markets lie all the time. Right up until they get caught. They are up today. Does that mean everything is okay again?monNom
- Your premise is faulty. A) there was no bad news to report as market was up. B) markets are the wrong metric to look at for ‘truth’.monNom

Katy Perry Going to Space Next Month
The “Firework” singer will be aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard flight, which is set to lift off on April 14- $1.25 million per seatmaquito
- How rich is Katy Perry? It's beautiful that some people are so poor they cant even afford to leave the house. She's going into space!Ianbolton
- She'll campaign with starving children to heal her conscience...OBBTKN
- How does her not going into space help the poor?palimpsest
- donate the space flight fee to the earthquake survivors in Burma and watch those record sales/karma points soarGardener
- let them eat stardustneverscared
- So by going to space she's actually calling attention to our world's inequalities.
Good Girl Katy.palimpsest - That would also mean that during all those years she HASN'T gone to space she's been helping the poor.palimpsest
- I hope it doesn't turn into actual fireworks.NBQ00
- Watched some of Blue Origins videos. Witnessing the earth from above seems like an amazing humbling experience.microkorg
- If you want it spelled out:
Her going or not going to space has no effect on the poor.palimpsest - but an effect on the 0.0000000001% as in jeffy...he gets the mill. and the pr stunt...neverscared
- pali: Mr. obvious of the day! LOLOBBTKN
- So the issue is that she is giving more power to the 0.n1%? I can work with that.palimpsest
- Him getting the mill and the pr stumt still doesn't directly affect the poor.palimpsest
- Again, was she "for the poor" when she wasn't going to space?palimpsest
- @OBBTKN
I am in a mood today, sorry to ruin you fun.palimpsest - She can do whatever the fuck she wants. But she could have donated the money to one of the many charities she donates to.OBBTKN
- And why? Because I said so, baby.OBBTKN
- I don't think the responsibility of handling poverty should be on the individual. That's a libertarian argument.palimpsest
- I'll go buy her records. You know, to help the poor.palimpsest
- sorry, didn't mean to start that. I'm jealous that she's a rich musician going into space. I'm a failed musician with bad hearing and not going into space.Ianbolton
- maybe she's going into space for inspiration for her next album?Ianbolton
- So she can make more money to help the poor. Obviously.palimpsest
- oh yeah, of course. Or maybe it's more beautiful than that. She's making an album about going into space to say 'get out the house a little, be inspired, live'Ianbolton
- i hope she has a nice timeIanbolton
- So sorry Pali. Haven't ridden your bike in a while? Maybe that'll help ;)OBBTKN
- "I hope she has a nice time" = "I hope both teams have fun".
That's the spirit!palimpsest - Make QBN great again by building your portfolio with Krop!Ianbolton

Germany’s far-right AfD formally designated as ‘extremist’
Germany's Alternative für Deutschland formally designated as extremist
Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the country’s domestic intelligence agency, has just issued an update on its investigation into the far-right Alternative für Deutschland, classifying it as “confirmed right-wing extremist organisation.”As German media noted, previously only the AfD’s state associations in certain parts of Germany were classified as such, but the national party was given a lower, “suspected” status.
Der Spiegel explains that the change in classification – underpinned by a 1,100-page report on the party – lowers the threshold for monitoring the party through intelligence means.
“The ethnicity- and ancestry-based conception of the people that predominates within the party is not compatible with the free democratic order,” the domestic intelligence agency said in a statement, quoted by Reuters.
“It aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society, to subject them to treatment that violates the constitution, and thereby assign them a legally subordinate status,” Reuters quoted the statement.
The AfD does not consider German citizens of immigrant background from predominantly Muslim countries as equal members of the German people, it added.
