Eh. "you're defrauding your employer." - that gets into an opinion. There isn't a law for that. Like the FEDS tend to do -- they got real creative with "mail fraud" and "wire fraud". I was surprised to not see "racketeering" for the FEDS bs trifecta. Their money laundering charge I would say is 100% bs: creating an LLC isn't laundering -- but who cares! the jury wont understand anything.

Its definitely against standard contractual terms (i.e conflicts of interest terms) and here they would all probably come under fraud in the inducement; i.e Kail induced Netflix to enter into contractual terms based on misrepresentations of what Netflix was gaining when it signed the contract (leaving out his personal gain which absolutely would be a material benefit that netflix itself could have gained had it known those terms existed).
