So now he's got some options.

He could put this money into his production or even pay Netflix back the $11 million that they just gave him.

But of course, that's not what he does.

Instead, he goes on a spending spree.

He buys five Rolls Royces, a Ferrari, he spends over $650,000 on watches and clothes, he buys two mattresses, two, that cost $638,000.

What?

Then he spends an extra $295,000 on luxury bedding and linens.

Then he spends about $400,000 on luxury hotels and rental properties.

He also pays off about $1.8 million in personal credit card debt.

Meanwhile, while he's doing all this crazy spending, he keeps assuring the Netflix execs that production of the series is progressing and that everything is going fine.

But of course, it is not going fine.

Because apparently at this point, shooting has completely stopped.

And around this time, Carl's behavior spirals even further out of control.

He starts leaning into crazy conspiracy theories.

He claims that he has the ability to predict lightning strikes and volcanic eruptions.

One time he tells his wife, Gabriella, that airplanes are organic intelligent beings sent to greet him.

And all of this is happening during COVID.

So he also starts claiming that he found a way to map the coronavirus signals coming from within the earth.

Like, what?

And at some point during all this, Gabriella just gets fed up with all of Carl's crazy bullshit.
