Adam Joiner has been charged with wire fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft.
A Manhattan Beach resident on Tuesday surrendered to federal authorities to face federal charges that he allegedly bulked investors out of millions over a fake Netflix deal.
Joiner, who made his initial court appearance in Los Angeles on Tuesday, has been charged with wire fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft. Joiner, who operated a company called Dark Planet Pictures, LLC, allegedly met with investors and provided a script for the faux film and showed a forged Netflix distribution agreement, feds say.
"While Murphy was retained to produce the film and secure a distribution agreement, no distributor was identified, no talent was secured, and no director committed to the film, the complaint alleges. Murphy terminated his arrangement with Joiner in mid-2017," according to court documents.
