always said some films look like a money laundering scheme
>First came "The Wolf of Wall Street." Now the U.S. government says two more feature films were financed by illicit foreign money.
>In a complaint issued Thursday, the Justice Department claimed that tens of millions of dollars were diverted from a Malaysian government investment fund to produce "Dumb and Dumber To" and "Daddy's Home."
>It's part of what prosecutors say was an enormous international fraud: Corrupt officials and financiers stole $4.5 billion from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) between 2009 and 2015, laundering the money through a series of shell companies with bank accounts in the United States and abroad.
>Prosecutors have filed to recover $1.7 billion.
>The Justice Department says millions in stolen money was funneled through Red Granite Pictures, a Los Angeles production company. The government is laying claim to the movie rights from all three films in question, as well as any profits.

Is zoolander the most redpilled film ever?

I don't understand how this is supposed to work? I know about how some movies intentionally make losses to take advantage of tax stuff, but studios need to explain where they got their money from. And those companies in turn need to show where they got their money. Why choose mofies when this can be applied to most business that rely on outsider funding?

>>84193976
it was a rogue op only reason it's being exposed.
>>
>>84194584
Not if the producers front the money. Studios just hire out producers to produce the movie.

>>84194584
it's too easy to re-appropriate foreign sales. how do you think movies with extremely high foreign turnouts get those numbers?
>>
>>84194606
Proof? Seems plausible but still.

>>84194635
he has very little to do with the details of the financing of his films. that is for the finance guys behind the scenes.

Hasn't shit like this happened all the time for years? I mean this is the entire basis for Uwe Boll's career. I think that's mostly German funding but still it make sense that Americans would do it all the time as well.

People who know things already know all about this. Money laundering isn't a byproduct of Hollywood, its the other way around, the movie industry exists specifically because of the need to launder large sums of money.
