He changed his tune in a later arbitration case with Netflix, where he claimed that not only was the money contractually his to do with what he pleased, but Netflix owed him more than $14 million in unpaid invoices.
The absolute sack on this guy lmao
That’s how you get blacklisted from Hollywood.
With 55 million, do you even care lol
I feel it depends how much of that money is still left useful.
Wanna buy dogecoins?
If you’re reading this, Netflix, I’m willing to do the exact same thing for just $40 million.
I’ll do it for just $500K and it’ll be a series about a man (me, extra savings on casting) wildly misspending the money battling a capitalist society run amok by paying off his mortgage and student loans. Episodes are about 30 secs to 1 min, depending how long the payment sites take to load.
$500k will only barely get you a Rolls Royce Phantom, though 😞 Nobody should be expected to work under such horrible conditions.
WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE MILLIONAIRES?
Is this why they had to raise their prices again?
Netflix had in 2023 roughly 247 Million paying user (they say). Blowing 50 Mil. is like 0.20$ for every user. It was mostly a mix of inflation, greed and shareholder demand for profit increase (also greed) that made you pay now more, for barely the same service/product.
*worse service
The crackdown on sharing accounts didn’t personally affect me, but it was still one of the reasons I dropped it
I got annoyed that the price kept going up and the quality of the shows went down, or there was just too much crap to filter out in order to watch something good. A lot of shows I like would randomly get cancelled, like Kim’s Convenience, Altered Carbon and others I can’t think of now.
The good news is that there’s going to be a riveting Netflix documentary about it,
Going to honest, I’m more likely to watch that than what they were supposed to make.
Unless the doc’s director also runs away with the money, a double bamboozle
“Don’t Fuck With The Money.”

He turned the $4m doge into like $17m didn’t he?
$27m actually lol.
Perfect. Haha
I don’t know, but that would mean he was luckier, not less stupid.
The guy’s obviously mentally ill, but sounds like the only reason he ever got that much money was because of a bidding war.
Stupid companies not looking at what they’re investing in, and just copying each other to try and get what the other wants 🤦♂️
Must have been those big smart “decision makers” that figures this one out.

They’re doing this with everything now. Corporate trends are deciding “Return to Office” a decade after jumping on the Work from Home bandwagon. They’re all moving to “unlimited” PTO, because people use less on average than an allotted account, and they can monitor and punish anyone who uses more.
It’s almost like the MBAs are trained to just follow each other.

I bet there’s some assistant out there working under some Netflix production exec going I fucking knew it
So this is where the money for my next season of Inside Job went? Fuck you Netflix 😩
How the fuck can they just cut the series in the middle of a season? It was a great show.
At this point if you are watching a Netflix show immediately after it starts airing, thats on you. What more do they need to do to prove they will drop any show the second it fails to meet their viewing requirements.
Basically cant even start watching a Netflix show until it’s a season or two in.
I don’t think unproven director is the issue here
How does he move it all to a personal account?
Are we sure he didn’t think he was hired to be the CEO?
They will spend $500k to make a documentary about this, pump it up to hit #1, and at the end of the day net the same results: $55.5 million spent to have the #1 show.
Judging by the story in the article, the doc would be hundred times more interesting than the nonexistent tv show anyway.
Those poor shareholders, my heart just breaks for them
It won’t even touch them. It will come out of the pockets of lower level employees or future projects.
Netflix really needs to vet their projects better.
This just means they get to cancel a few of their good shows now. Their favorite thing to do.
I mean, good for him lol
hey netflix give me Millions of dollars and ill make a tv show for you
Oh no!
Anyway…
