9. Michael Kail
Streaming is a dirty business. Or, that’s what you’d be led to believe by the likes of Michael Kail, the former Vice President of IT Operations at Netflix. Kail was caught doing a lot of bad financial stuff, including taking bribes from clients/other tech companies in relation to contracts with the streaming giant. Prosecutors said Kail accepted as much as half a million dollars in kickbacks. He was ultimately sentenced to 20 months in prison. After his stint behind bars, he predictably decided to get into crypto, which seems like it’s been a smooth transition for him.
