“Self Sabotage”: Keanu Reeves Urges Leniency For Director Who Scammed $11M From Netflix

Keanu Reeves admits he does “not know the details” of Carl Rinsch‘s case and the millions of dollars the filmmaker has been found guilty of scamming from Netflix, but the John Wick star wants a federal judge to cut his 47 Ronin director some slack.

“Based upon what I do know about Carl, I did want to take the opportunity to write on his behalf, in the hope that his sentence might be tempered with measures of leniency and mercy as well as justice,” Reeves wrote in a May 1 letter submitted this week by Rinsch’s legal team ahead of his June 29 sentencing.
