1. My bosses' decision to use global performances (audio and video) to train their A.I. They also quietly replaced SAG-AFTRA actors and US labor en masse, because they needed to do it outside of the US to cover themselves. I had begged repeatedly for senior management to embrace Categorical Imperative regarding A.I. (including an internal memo published January 2022, which was rejected by senior management).
2. My bosses spending tens of millions on remarkably stupid and expensive methodology for the A.I. training, and then manipulating and spinning internal metrics to their colleagues and covering up damage to shows and IPs from talent/producers.
3. My boss' proposal to charge talent for Netflix workshops, which amounted to (and eventually resulted in) multiple violations of California's Krekorian Talent Scam Prevention Act (AB 1319).
After firing me, Netflix then:
1. Threatened me through one of my lawyers and said if I ever talk about this or sue them, they will make my life "very difficult" and they will "no longer respect" me or my career.
2. After I was quiet for a year and a half, I updated my LinkedIn with a new job and on that same day Netflix sent their "Global Resource Management" team to intimidate my new employer about working with me (they did unrelated work with Netflix), so I withdrew.
I prefer to keep my government name out of google whistleblower searches, so thank you in advance and much appreciated.
All of this stuff exists in Netflix documentation and emails, and would be easily found if there's ever a subpoena.
Yes, this website is weird.

To get a summary of everything, you can read my long blog post below titled "Breaking Character - Special Update 6/9/26".
I don't care about money, and I have zero financial stake in any corporations or stocks. I also don't care if there are consequences for anyone or not. I just want humanity to see the behavior of some of the most powerful and amoral people on earth.
The main points are:
1. Netflix senior execs and board of directors are actively malevolent toward humanity and their own industry regarding their A.I. strategy and some other general business practices.
2. Airbnb senior execs cover up clandestine fentanyl labs from homeowners, the public, and authorities. They choose to protect their profit instead of the communities they operate in.
3. I originally made this website just to have a place where people who have been scammed by the Netflix exec orchestrated and sanctioned "Dub School Los Angeles" (which charges talent $2000 for the opportunity to work) could find information and learn who to contact:

Over time, I turned it into a comedic Pynchon-themed-schizopost-conspiracy-website because it's more fun for me and the only people I care to read it are the people involved and anyone who can actually do something about it. It's trying to be fun (for me anyway), but everything is true and has hard proof either here or in easy-to-find documentation with a subpoena or elsewhere.
This home page is now an ongoing blog format, and for the most part it's written in the voice of a mean character named Wednesday Tinasky which makes it more fun to write.
Each individual section devoted to whatever topic in the website menu is easier to read and less wacky than most stuff on the home page and Newsfeed.
Newsfeed is the super wacky stuff that's just funny to imagine Ted asking David Hyman his programmed question about how they could make it 10% better for them when they saw it for the first time.
Also any legal action from any of these parties will only result in their own legal peril, so kiss my ass Ted you evil garden gnome.
Netflix board member / Airbnb CFO & Airbnb's "luxury" business partner dismantled and covered up a massive fentanyl production lab... in my house.
Netflix board member / Airbnb CFO & Airbnb's "luxury" business partner dismantled and covered up a massive fentanyl production lab... in my house.
Yes, that is my house in the photo (click pic for link to story.)
And yes there is so much evidence that it's ridiculous.
Anyway, I did NOT expect to recently discover that the Airbnb CFO (who I begged for help with emails and calls for months after my house was completely destroyed, shortly after being fired by Netflix for whistleblowing)

And yes there is so much evidence that it's ridiculous.
Anyway, I did NOT expect to recently discover that the Airbnb CFO (who I begged for help with emails and calls for months after my house was completely destroyed, shortly after being fired by Netflix for whistleblowing) actually was not only Airbnb CFO, but also a former Netflix exec and soon-to-be Netflix board member.
She knowingly covered up a massive clandestine fentanyl lab in my house that produced at least enough fentanyl to kill more than 7 million people, which was confirmed by major Mexican news outlet Milenio. I say at least, because that's how much was on hand when the other labs in the network were raided.
But authorities never got to my house before the lab was dismantled-- and that story is a doozy, which I haven't posted yet, and that one is somehow crazier than even this stuff.
In another surreal twist, I am now teaching high school and working with an outreach program in an area deeply affected by fentanyl. I would not believe this shit in a movie.
There's also a ton of other even more wild stuff involving C-Suite execs connected to the Netflix board of directors. I mean this is ridiculous at this point.

Airbnb clandestine fentanyl lab senior exec cover up - 6/19/
How Airbnb CFO Ellie Mertz pays for one of her extra houses - worth it?
Enough fentanyl to kill more than 7 million people was produced in my house by Airbnb renters.
Airbnb senior management and their so-called "luxury short term management" business partner covered up a clandestine fentanyl lab from me, the public, and authorities to protect their profits.
What happened to all the fentanyl that must have been there after Airbnb and their “luxury short term management” business partner cleaned it out and covered it up?
Why was Airbnb's business partner in my house when I returned again two months later to protect the vacant & destroyed house from squatters?
Why did Airbnb still act like I was crazy for suspecting criminal activity? Why did Airbnb defend their business partner?
Again, and to make sure this sinks in no matter who you are:
Airbnb CFO Ellie Mertz, along with CEO Brian Chesky, knowingly withheld this information after their "luxury short term management" business partner dismantled and removed the lab before authorities could reach it. Even after I called and emailed and begged Airbnb Investor Relations and senior management directly for help for months.
And I had to discover the entire truth via Mexican news outlet Milenio almost two years later. Ellie Mertz and Airbnb knew this entire time, and covered it up from me, the public, and authorities.
Even if their "luxury short term management" company was just idiotic and emptied out a clandestine fentanyl lab because they thought it was a pizza party, Airbnb senior management still decided to cover it up.
Click here or on the pic for a youtube video about the human suffering Airbnb CFO & Netflix board of directors member Ellie Mertz profits from enabling and covering up, even in Laurel Canyon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdsXKHi1DIo
And, AGAIN: if Ellie Mertz and Airbnb casually enable A.I.-approved clandestine fentanyl labs, and then cover up a massive clandestine fentanyl lab operation in the home of a known pain-in-the-ass corporate whistleblower in the Hollywood Hills up by Mulholland Drive, how do you think they operate everywhere else globally?
Will real journalists please report this stuff?? - 6/13/26

Re: Netflix A.I. voice dubbing
To: ir@netflix; ir@airbnb; eu-mediaboard-secretariat.ec.europa.eu; and some journalists and others
And another thing,
Netflix “Global Resource Management”, you are all really nice people personally, but come on.
( www.netflixinterpositive.com )
However, you’re not alone in Netflix Creative “Services”, where everyone in a management position just goes along with the VP’s orders no matter how dumb or clueless or sketchy or flat out illegal or immoral they are, even on a clear and grand scale for humanity with comic book villain level stakes that I fucking even laid out for all of you in a Netflix internal memo published January 2022.
I know I’m an obnoxious cunt referencing Kant in a direct-to-video company internal memo, but when it comes to driving the largest media company on the planet’s A.I. strategy, a position of profound global power during a clear boss battle for humanity, when people are already suffering on multiple levels globally, I think I can be excused for asking Netflix senior management to embrace Categorical Imperative regarding A.I.
And you would have made so much more money, but you are stupid.
Fuck you Sarandos, you evil garden gnome.
Ted, if you ever try to imagine who is the exact opposite person from you on Earth, think Pope Leo. You are paradoxically the creator of, and the golem itself. A golem teetering at the top of a pyramid between ordering and being ordered. Anyway I haven’t been in about 20 years, but I might actually go to church tomorrow because at least there’s clear moral leadership coming from a place of power somewhere.
Something Nicole did get right in her NYT profile of the Netflix direct-to-video guy (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/business/media/dan-lin-netflix-hollywood.html ) was the tone always leaving one sentence short that everyone else is thinking as they read it. I’m not mad at the article itself, she’s calling you assholes with no taste.
Which is fine, you’re allowed to be that, but you don’t need to embrace it THIS much. No more covering up clandestine fentanyl labs (*cough, Ellie), no more having Jeffrey Epstein (‘s force ghost, in any future case) facilitate $2.4 million mystery payments to admin assistants (Harris, sell the team), no more stealing from everyone you work with (A.I. Ted, Dahmer-Peters, Ellie, Hoagie).
Nicole, in her own way, did write about Netflix’s clandestine A.I. labs and distribution. When direct-to-video guy humble bragged about coercing Charlize Theron to be paraded around in The cafeteria in front of his employees and go through the hoops of a Netflix office visit, and then have you ask her if you can use that story in the NY Times profile about you, it’s like well yeah what is she gonna say. Maybe she didn’t mind, and that’s her business either way.
But just like you are training your A.I. with Ms. Theron’s and other artists’ performances and then move toward using it to replace her and artists like her. Or maybe toward much less pay, you acting like that’s good for her because well we have the golem so hey fuck you. You offer her a movie role in a time when there’s less movies being made, so yeah read the room (cafeteria?), tech bro. You also publicly brag about how you have lowered the standard for how she used to be treated and make a show of it, and then make a joke about it in the New York Times but it’s really a remarkably dark message to send to the industry in this moment. Hey everybody: everything is changing and we hold everything and we are going to make an example with one of the biggest movie stars in the world who also has an aura of dignity and talent that is universally respected. Nice burn Jay, was that your idea? We know it wasn’t Ted’s (garden gnome).
And for fucks sake I almost forgot the entire reason I made the website initially was just so I could have a permanent place where people who have been scammed by the Netflix exec orchestrated and sanctioned “Dub School Los Angeles” could learn about California’s Krekorian Talent Scam Prevention Act (AB 1319) and know who to contact. Whatever comes of that is up to the California Labor Commissioner’s Office to decide.
But whatever happens with that, you should be ashamed of yourselves for putting not only artists and labor and your employees in a position where they feel they just have to follow Netflix’s orders no matter what to have any work, but also your business partners like Dubbing Brothers recording studio in Burbank. But they also must have felt protected doing it, because well, the biggest global media company who controls most of the work in the industry is telling us to do it, so it must be fine.
The Netflix Golem, like dominoes of immoral behavior falling all the way down the industry. Will Ted be punished, or just some poor recording studio who was forced to do it and assumed it was legal because, well, this is what Netflix wants?
I am surprised people at Netflix who had to have felt that tinge of “ooh isn’t this kind of icky” feeling didn’t just fucking google it out of curiosity and see all of the news reports of LA District Attorney Mike Feurer prosecuting tons of people for workshops that were $50/head back around 2017. But the Netflix employees and the recording studio don’t look because, sadly, they don’t want to know because there’s almost no remaining work ever since Netflix sent most of it out of the country for clandestine A.I. training. $2000/head! I could write a fucking novel about how immoral that is on so many levels and I practically already have in this email.
Denny, you need to know Ellie Mertz and Airbnb covered up a clandestine fentanyl lab in my house because it’s your street too. I called that poor woman who bought the house from me immediately when I saw the Milenio article that validated my suspicions after nearly two harrowing years of chaos for me. Wah. But anyway yeah be aware, I hear there’s addicts hanging around the street again.
Ellie Mertz, you personally covered up a clandestine fentanyl lab that you had enabled to be in my house with sloppy A.I. guest approvals. Think about that! There is no other way around it. I don’t care if you kept it from me with malice toward me personally, who gives a shit (but then again, that becomes some wild actual Illuminati stuff lol so I really hope not). Regardless, you did it.
Also there’s no way to know if they’re directly connected, but a man died in a fire two doors up from my house and there were addicts hanging around at the time who said things to me like “houses don’t just burn down on their own” while I took out the trash. I tried to get in but it was a huge fire and a man died inside. I have no idea if there are any connections between these things beyond coincidence but fuck you Ellie Mertz.
(And just to bring you even further down the fucking Netflix board tentacle rabbit hole, here’s this surreal news report, which any reasonable person will be like why no way this has to be fake, but I mean that’s my fucking house in some of the footage, and buckle your seatbelt for the comments section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGk5xpkvbU …You can also ask ABC reporter Jori Rand for the paperwork I signed giving him the footage of the fire from my phone that is in the report.)
Come at me, any of you, I dare you. What do you want to sue me for, being mean about how I tell the easy-to-prove truth to humanity?
I don’t care what kind of corporate legal wall you all try to hide behind. I don’t even care if there’s any consequences for anyone or not. I just want humanity to know. This should be your legacy, golem gnome.
Officer Versoza, just keeping everything in your visibility. Hopefully this is amusing at least.
Can someone forward this? I’m such an asshole I might print it and mail it.

Airbnb CFO covers up clandestine fentanyl labs - 6/11/26
Months of emails begging Airbnb Investor Relations (ir@airbnb.com, overseen by CFO Ellie Mertz)
Months of emails begging Airbnb Investor Relations (ir@airbnb.com, overseen by CFO Ellie Mertz)
Months of emails begging Airbnb Investor Relations (ir@airbnb.com, overseen by CFO Ellie Mertz)
Little did I know that I was begging a soon-to-be Netflix board member (and former Netflix exec), just months after whistleblowing internally at Netflix. I wouldn’t even believe this shit in a movie.
I was directly appealing to Airbnb senior management & Investor Relations because I knew the CFO would be forced to see it and help me if I made a big enough stink.
Only last week I found out that Airbnb Investor Relations lied to me and that Airbnb's CFO is also a member of the Netflix Board of Directors. They withheld information about the renters-- turns out Airbnb and their "luxury short term rental" business partner were covering up clandestine fentanyl labs, including my house. Ellie Mertz herself made the call to withhold this information from me while I begged for assistance for months. She decided to leave me and the community where I lived in grave danger.
A house burned down two doors up from me and a man died inside (I tried to get in but it was a huge fire). There were weird addicts hanging around on the street who would say aggressive things to me when I would take the trash out like "houses don't just burn down by themselves". I didn’t really connect this until this news. The last two years have been so surreal. I will be posting these details as well. Fuck you Ellie Mertz.
You can read more details below in my really long post "Breaking Character / Special Update 6/9/26".
I'll post a huge evidence filled update about the addicts hanging around the house and the experience that Airbnb gaslit me through for months etc soon, I have to prep activities for the kids camp right now.

I just stumbled into this a few days ago.
I did not ever dream that my Netflix A.I. whistleblowing would lead me to a Netflix board member & Airbnb CFO who personally and knowingly withheld from me that Airbnb had covered up putting a clandestine fentanyl lab in my house.
Those months were harrowing after the renters, and I will detail it in a later post. Ellie Mertz denied, delayed, withheld the truth, and either her or someone on her team giggled.
You know on that one call where I actually cried because I was so grateful they finally agreed to send me some help after I begged for months?
I heard giggling in the background on their side, and I ignored it because I was so relieved and grateful. I had no idea that was a fucking Netflix board member. That call is recorded by Airbnb, so any subpoena will prove it if anybody cares to hear it (I would prefer not because it's embarrassing, but for fuck's sake this entire thing is ridiculous). Fuck you Ellie Mertz you evil piece of shit. And fuck you Sarandos you are a monster.

I randomly stumbled into this a few days ago, which led me to Milenio.

I am only beefing with and looking into C-suite level corporate executives and their billionaire handlers who are malevolent toward humanity.

Click the pic for link to CEO bio.
Mr. Verma was CEO of Crawford Insurance, the administrator/delayer/denier for Airbnb's Aircover "Insurance".
Before Crawford, Mr. Verma was previously CFO of Munich Insurance (conveniently the underwriter of Airbnb's Aircover "Insurance").
As CEO of Crawford, Mr. Verma's role was to ensure that Airbnb claims are denied and delayed, and that any coverage granted never ever acknowledges the truth about what happens in Airbnb clandestine fentanyl labs.
After my email that embarrassed Airbnb and Crawford senior management (and especially Mr. Verma) that finally led to Ellie Mertz approving a check for me, Mr. Verma slunk away in shame to become CEO of something called Alight, a so-called "leading cloud-based human capital and technology-enabled services provider". Hopefully it has nothing to do with fentanyl, but I'm holding off on looking into it because I'm busy working a kids summer camp in Kensington, Philadelphia surrounded by fentanyl addicts who surround the gates like World War Z while these children try to dream about a better life than the poor souls victimized by Mr. Verma at the gates.

Sneak preview for our next chapter in CEO evil & fentanyl, and the many surreal tentacles of the Netflix Board of Directors.
Airbnb is very involved.
Every part of this leads to something crazier. When I started this I thought the worst concrete legal trouble for anyone would be from the California Labor Commissioner's Office re: Netflix exec orchestrated Pay-To-Play "Dub School Los Angeles". But each thing leads to another bonkers CEO.
Fuck you Ellie Mertz and Ted Sarandos. This is the least I can do to help humanity. You landed on exactly the wrong asshole. I'm from Philly and we don't like people who profit from the suffering of others.
Also get that stupid Netflix (Fentanyl) House thing away from here. We don't want it. I don't think anywhere else does either.

Breaking Character / Special Update - 6/9/26
Surreal update (even more surreal than usual)
So I'm breaking character here to actually write as myself.
In a really wild twist of fate, I learned some surreal information about Netflix board member and Airbnb CFO Ellie Mertz. Before I get into it, I'm going to bring in some context.
Every single thing here is backed up by emails and documentation at Netflix. In case there's ever a subpoena, they'll find it all easily.
Netflix fired me in January 2024 for objecting to:
1. My bosses' secretive and dopey A.I. training, using global Netflix performances (not just audio, also video) to build their A.I. I begged them to think about 2026 talent union negotiations and that there's no way this won't get out, and the damage this will cause to Netflix longterm. "They won't know until after we've done it, and they can't stop us anyway" was the actual response to my concerns from the Innovation A.I. VP lol, and then my boss said to me "Drop it, or else".
2. My bosses spent massive sums of money in the dumbest, most unscalable ways, all to protect a VP who spent tens of millions being hoodwinked by obvious charlatans using VFX sleight of hand and expensive nonsense methodology instead of actual development that could have helped Netflix (and this methodology also was immoral, possibly illegal depending on how you look at theft, and caused grave metrics harm to Netflix IPs like "Money Heist".) This particular A.I. training methodology also required mass replacement of SAG-AFTRA talent and US labor, because they needed to do it outside of the US to cover themselves. And these execs had just pushed US recording studio partners to spend millions building stages for them... little did those partners know that these execs were simultaneously planning to quietly move most of the work out of the US. Not illegal but gives you an idea of the character of the decision makers here.
3. Lying to talent/producers about all of this, and withholding information about the harm caused to Netflix shows and IPs.
4. My boss' insistence on covering up and taking part in her bosses' manipulation and spin of internal metrics, massive corporate waste (imagine needlessly spending somewhere between $3mil to $5mil on a single English dub, and that English dub results in the lowest metrics against expectations of all time on Netflix, for any show ever, any language, and then internally blaming the show's creator for the poor performance of the show). And that's just a single project on the slate... try to imagine how much money has been secretly wasted on unusable A.I. development at Netflix, or on A.I. development built on theft. I assume at some point in the last two years they eventually changed course to smarter methodologies, who knows.
5. My boss' proposal to charge a fee to actors to cover the minuscule Netflix costs for workshops that were always free for talent. I created these workshops so that any artists had the opportunity to come into a recording studio for free and experience dubbing in studio and see what we do, and maybe they would take an interest in dubbing / voice acting and the overall ecosystem of talent would grow. It was always an open door invitation, and talent was absolutely never ever asked to pay anything ever. I repeatedly told my boss that charging talent for workshops would be immoral, horrible PR, and almost certainly illegal depending on the context. In my wildest dreams I never expected them to move ahead with it in the blatantly illegal way they did, but that's up to the California Labor Commissioner's Office to decide what to do about now.
After I was fired for these objections, I hired Netflix-friendly, non-suing, very fancy Hollywood lawyers to take the details to Netflix senior management. I only asked for my job back. Ted Sarandos' response was to have his fleet of lawyers threaten me into silence. One of my very fancy, famous-for-a-lawyer Hollywood lawyers (he reps some of the biggest movie stars you can imagine) told me that Netflix threatened me, and said that if I ever talk about any of this or sue them they promised to "make my life very difficult" and they would "no longer respect" me or my career. He said if I do move ahead with a lawsuit I would probably become a hero for artists rights, and I was not interested in an expensive battle I couldn't afford that would almost certainly just end with frustration. I moved on in life.
After I was silent for a year and a half of being unable to find full-time work in the industry, I finally got a promising freelance position that had nothing to do with Netflix. It was working with a company who does other work with Netflix. On the day I simply updated my LinkedIn with the new position, Netflix sent their "Global Resource Management" team to intimidate my new employer. To spare that company potentially being punished for working with me and losing all of their Netflix work, I withdrew. And it didn't really matter because all of the studio execs who had been taking my calls and giving me shows to produce dubs for them stopped responding. My career was done. These days I'm back home helping take care of my elderly parents, and I managed to get a job teaching public high school and I'm grateful because I love it.
So anyway, with all that context above, something crazy happened in between being fired by Netflix and threatened by their lawyers, and where I am today.
After Netflix fired me, I couldn't afford my house longterm anymore (first world problems, but stay with me). I grew up in a wonderful middle class family with school teacher parents, and I never dreamed I would own a house in Laurel Canyon. I put everything into it and I was really happy there, but without that Netflix salary it had to be sold. I had an offer for an overseas trip for 4 months, and I didn't want to try to sell the house while I was away, so I hired a "luxury short term management" company to manage renting my house for the four months I would be out of the country from April to August 2024. This was my primary and only home, and I had never rented it out before, but I needed to cover the mortgage for those 4 months, and the plan was to rent it and break even and put it up for sale when I returned.
I returned in August 2024 to an absolutely surreal life chapter. The house was completely destroyed. The luxury rental company pushed me off on Airbnb (who had been the portal for that particular rental). I gave Airbnb and their insurance everything they needed by early September 2024. Police reports etc etc. They delayed and denied for months. I begged them repeatedly for help-- I had homeless addicts coming to the house constantly, it appeared that crimes may have taken place in the house, and it was terrifying. The FBI and LAPD (who were both incredibly supportive and helpful throughout this nightmare) told me to leave LA for a while to make sure there wasn't any confusion about whatever mysterious happenings went on in the house.
I returned to the house in October 2024 to try to protect it from squatters, and found employees from the "luxury rental company" inside my house. Why were they inside my vacant, destroyed house two months later? That's a whole other story that I will be sharing. And it's an even bigger doozy, involving CEOs partying in rental homes with reality show celebrities in rental homes they control in the Hollywood Hills and Palm Springs. And Airbnb enables and knows all about it, and they don't care and even give them special treatment because Airbnb profits from it. But that's for another post, another day. And if you think these details I am sharing on this website are wild, just wait for the details on these individuals.
And to be clear to cartel and anyone else Ellie Mertz and Airbnb and their business partners profit from enabling: I am not beefing with you, I am only beefing with C-Suite level corporate senior executives and their billionaire handlers who are malevolent toward humanity. I stay out of your business.
Anyway it was a harrowing, nightmarish experience. For months I repeatedly begged Airbnb to stop delaying and denying my claim so I could at least fix the house to make it livable, and eventually get it completely redone so I could sell it.
I begged and begged multiple parties at Airbnb and Crawford Insurance for months, living in a destroyed house with no heat, holes in the walls, flooded second floor, collapsed ceiling, etc. I had paid thousands of dollars the day after the renters to have the entire house professionally tested for the presence of drugs, and it came up negative but the house had all the trappings of a trap house just without any proof or hard evidence. And in particular I was always contacting and interacting with Airbnb Investor Relations, overseen by Ellie Mertz. I begged them repeatedly for help out of fear for my safety.
When I finally was forced to shame Airbnb and Crawford Insurance in front of their employees via a pretty funny email, Airbnb CFO Ellie Mertz who also oversees Investor Relations quickly approved a payment that would cover my destroyed and stolen property. It was nowhere near all of my losses, but it was enough to help me pay the mortgage while I used my savings to rebuild the house as quickly as possible.
When they were embarrassed, Airbnb sent me that check, but even in all of our conversations via email and on the phone (I even fucking cried on one call thanking them for agreeing to send me something because I was living in fear in the house)-- Airbnb Investor Relations and Ellie Mertz still did not tell me what they knew about the renters they had put in my house.
I only found out some of those Airbnb renter details 8 months later, after I had rebuilt and sold the house and left LA. I received a phone call from USPIS federal agent Lyndon Versoza, who told me that the Airbnb renters were arrested shortly after they left my house, and that there was already a criminal conviction.
And I didn't know all the details until randomly stumbling across this last week:
https://www.borderlandbeat.com/2026/04/fentanyl-made-in-us-how-clandestine.html?m=1
That's my house! That's the house Ellie Mertz and Airbnb put fentanyl producers and traffickers in, and then didn't tell me when they knew all about it. They gaslit me and acted like I was crazy for suspecting criminal activity and fearing for my safety. Ellie Mertz only sent me a check after I sent an email embarrassing Airbnb and Crawford Insurance senior management in front of their employees. Airbnb and Ellie (who is #2 overall on the org chart at Airbnb) didn't tell me who they had put in my house, and what danger I was in on multiple levels just by being there at the time. And it was a harrowing 6 months in the house in multiple ways that I will detail in another post.
Now, I know that I have created a Pynchon-themed comedic website for all this whistleblowing stuff. And I use names like Wednesday Tinasky to amuse myself (and also to keep my government name out of google whistleblower searches, thank you everyone for keeping it that way I appreciate it). I even threw in Josh Harris and the NBA because it wasn't that difficult to find stuff like Harris having Jeffrey Epstein facilitate a mysterious $2.4 million payment to an assistant in 2014, 6 years after Epstein's first child sex conviction.
But now I have to ask myself... did Ellie Mertz actually know who I was? I mean... it's bad enough that Ellie Mertz and Airbnb appear to systematically withhold fentanyl production and trafficking information from hosts / homeowners, even when the host / homeowner is in clear and immediate danger without this information. But the added wrinkle that she almost certainly knew who I was, and then was elected to the Netflix board a few months later? I mean now that's some paranoid conspiracy stuff, and it doesn't really matter either way, because what matters is that Airbnb and Ellie Mertz CFO are withholding information about clandestine fentanyl labs (that Airbnb enables) from hosts and the general public and the authorities. I assume it would be a bad look for Airbnb if anybody found out. Airbnb and Ellie Mertz choose protecting profit over protecting the communities they operate in.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that Netflix A.I. whistleblowing would lead me to a Netflix board member who purposely left me in a fentanyl house. And who seems to have possibly done it with malice, I assume via whoever had the power to get her on the board. I mean that is so farfetched that it can't be true, right? That would be like a ridiculous illuminati movie, but then again the moronic nature of it all would be on brand for A.I. Ted. Away from how he’s framed by fawning press looking for access and trying to keep their careers alive in a dying journalism industry, he’s closer to a hateful garden gnome come to life who does as he’s told.
If you pull the curtain back from the press fawning and framing to get access or simply because journalists have been pushed to a point as a profession that taking a risk and telling the truth about him would lead to a fate like mine: teaching high school for $35k/year. (By the way, I love it and I recommend it to anyone disgusted with Netflix senior management If you’re up for a lifestyle change).
Anyway, any conjecture about Ellie Mertz's motivations for withholding this information from me is just conjecture. The point is that she did it, and she probably does it to all homeowners with clandestine fentanyl labs that her company enabled with sloppy A.I. guest approvals and it's just too ridiculous that there's also at the very least a suspiciously coincidental connection to Sarandos' handlers vengeance. I kind of feel like Oedipa Mass hearing the lock click behind me at the crying.
Anyway this has been a weird couple of days learning all of this stuff and trying to process it. It's probably just the coincidence of a malevolent C-suite executive happens to also enable and cover up fentanyl trafficking to protect profit and just happens to fit right in with the Netflix board.
Anyway I'll get around to posting a big update with tons of evidence etc. I don't care about money. I care about the truth being made public for the greater good.
Thanks,
Wednesday Tinasky

An EPSTEIN SHAME NETWORK (ESN) website
THE NETFLIX EFFECT: Netflix A.I. whistleblower news
WEBSITE MAIN POINT #1 (of 3):
1. Netflix has been quietly replacing SAG-AFTRA actors since 2023, and also using global performances in all languages for A.I. synthetic voice training. Netflix "Deepspeak" A.I. fully replaces human performers in all languages it is trained in.
WEBSITE MAIN POINT #2 (of 3):
2. A good example is MONEY HEIST spin-off BERLIN.
The English dub cast of MONEY HEIST was SAG-AFTRA, but Netflix execs replaced them in BERLIN S1 for A.I. training performances in Canada (like most of their other shows since 2023).
BERLIN S1 English dub was removed from Netflix on BERLIN S2 launch day, after an update on this website about it.
BERLIN S2's opening weekend, with A.I. training voices replacing the SAG-AFTRA English dub voices of the characters "Berlin" and "The Professor", was #1 globally on Netflix, #1 in 44 countries... and not even Top 10 in the US.
This lack of vision can cause grave harm to a show or IP. About half of Netflix global subscribers are English speakers, and about 80% of English speakers watch English dubs and not subtitles on Netflix.
MONEY HEIST / LA CASA DE PAPEL is one of the handful of Netflix's global owned IPs that I can even think of. Squid Games? K-Pop Demon Hunters? Stranger Things? I can't think of any others, but anyway it's a wild decision to kill one of your only globally known and owned IP‘s with dubbing.
Expect the next HEIST spin-off to be set in the US and English language, and Álvaro Morte (as "The Professor") and any other returning characters from MONEY HEIST will have to mostly speak English in the original version with an English speaking cast, and with some Spanish lines that aren't dubbed (with “forced” subtitles). Netflix can't bring any of the original MONEY HEIST voices back for the English dubs unless they return the recording to the US and SAG-AFTRA. Behind closed doors, Ted Sarandos is very committed to replacing human artists and labor for short term profit to appease his billionaire handlers.
WEBSITE MAIN POINT #3 (of 3):
3. The same Netflix executives making these decisions also orchestrated and sanctioned "Dub School Los Angeles", a blatant and frankly ludicrous scam which violates California's Krekorian Talent Scam Prevention Act (AB 1319) and preys on artists in multiple ways. This law forbids making artists pay for the opportunity to work. This scam asks for $2000!
ABOUT section, where you can read about how I was fired by Netflix for objecting to these practices:
NEWSFEED, where you can see updates in weirdo schizopost comedic format, because I think it's funny:
The NEWSFEED is a wacky Netflix A.I. whistleblower newsfeed, for fun.
More readable info/details are in each individual section of the website.
A note for unions:
Forget about just voice acting / dubbing... whatever area of the industry you work in, Netflix senior execs will replace you with synthetic performance and/or generative A.I. if your union allows it. And if you don't have a union, like VFX, they pay movie stars to be the friendly press face of replacing you. Netflix is full of wonderful people working there, but Netflix senior execs are not studio execs. They are tech execs.
A note for NFLX investors:
Expect the very strong possibility of legislation, regulation, back payments to artists and subscribers across Europe and elsewhere, re: Netflix A.I. training and use in the EU and elsewhere, thanks to the brazen decisions and surreal lack of vision of Netflix Creative Services execs + co-CEOs A.I. Ted and Greg Dahmer-Peters.
