Former MoviePass executives indicted for fraud, “attempted scam”
MoviePass may be relaunching, but former CEOs of the movie subscription service are still embroiled in scandal.
As reported by Variety, the former CEO of MoviePass’s parent company Helios & Matheson Analytics Inc., and the former CEO of MoviePass Mitchell Lowe have each been charged with four counts of fraud: one count of securities fraud, and three counts of wire fraud. If convicted, they each face a maximum of 20 years in prison for each count.
The Department of Justice unsealed the charges on Friday, November 4, a little over a month after the Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges against Farnsworth and Lowe for fraudulent behavior.
Both the DOJ and the SEC allege that Farnsworth and Lowe claimed that MoviePass’s “unlimited” plan, where customers could pay $9.95 a month to see unlimited movies in theaters, had been market tested and proven to be sustainable. The model turned out to be anything but, with MoviePass losing money, allegedly trying to prevent customers from seeing movies, and ultimately shutting down in 2019.
The DOJ alleges that Farnsworth and Lowe made these false claims in order to bolster the stock price of Helios & Matheson and attract more investors, knowing full well that the $9.95 unlimited plan was a “marketing gimmick.” Farnsworth and Lowe also allegedly made fraudulent statements about using “big data” and “artificial intelligence” to monetize subscriber data without actually having access to or using these technologies.
The FBI New York Field Office is investigating the case. Said Assistant Director in Charge Michael J. Driscoll: “attempted scams of this nature erode the public’s faith in our financial markets. The FBI is committed to ensuring these types of frauds and swindles are uncovered and the perpetrators are held responsible for their actions in the criminal justice system.”
Chris Bond, a spokesman for Farnsworth, said in a statement that Farnsworth would be fighting the charges. “As with the SEC filing, Mr. Farnsworth is confident that the facts will demonstrate that he has acted in good faith, and his legal team intends to contest the allegations in the indictment until his vindication is achieved,” said Bond.
As of now, Farnsworth and Lowe do not seem to be part of the new, yet-to-be-officially launched version of MoviePass.

Argentina Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has GUN pointed at her in ‘attempted assassination’ at her home
A WOULD-be attacker threatened Argentina’s Vice President, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, with a gun on Thursday, according to local reports.
The politician was unharmed after no shots were fired at the entrance of her home in Buenos Aires, where hundreds of protestors were gathered.
De Kirchner is currently in the middle of a corruption scandal and was returning from court when she came into contact with the crowd.
She has denied all of the charges.
Sergio Massa, the country’s economy minister, called the terrifying incident an “attempted assassination.”
“When hate and violence prevail over debate, societies are destroyed and situations like these arise: attempted assassination,” he tweeted.
According to police, an “armed” man was arrested near De Kirchner’s home and “a weapon was found a few meters from the scene.”
Police described the man as being of Brazilian origin.
The man allegedly pointed the gun at De Kirchner in the middle of a crowd, but no shots were fired during the incident.
Video shared on social media showed a crowd swarming De Kirchner as she got out of a car before a hand appears and points what appears to be a gun directly at her face.
De Kirchner ducks out of the way before security tries to block her from the possible gunman.

- Always keep your phone nearby.
- Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.

- Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
- Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
- If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
- Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.
