Bank betaalt miljoenen voor dode crimineel?!

I'm Rick, here with Emma and Sophie on our video call today.

We found something in the news that made us all scratch our heads.

So let's dive in and figure it out together.

Hey, hey, Zenuleer.

Yeah, I'm better, hoi rick, ik ook hoi hoi.

I just read something on NOS.

You don't believe it.

Oh no, Rick has read all the NOS all over the world.

What now, Rick?

No, but seriously, you have to hear it.

Okay, okay, what is it?

Bank of America.

Can you do that?

Yes, big bank, what is it?

They pay a lot of money, a lot of money.

How much?

Ten dollars a million, for the app store.

App store?

The man?

Yes, the man, exactly.

Wait a minute, the bank is paid?

Yes, the bank is paid, not the man.

But the man is dead.

Yes, he is dead, but the bank is still alive.

That's crazy.

Crazy, yes, exactly.

How many tens of millions?

A lot, a lot, I don't know exactly.

More than my salaries, more than my salaries too.

More than my salaries and my house together.

Yes, rich people, rich bank.

No, but seriously, the bank knows something.

Do you mean the bank helps to be in the app?

Yes, that's the question.

Is that correct?

Oh, that's serious.

Very serious, but also a bit bizarre.

Bizar?

Why bizarre?

A bank, a fat bank, and an app store.

Mm-hm, snap, I'm going for it.

The comments on Nu.nl are even worse.

You read the comments too.

Always, I read everything.

Rich, you're really sick.

No, it's interesting.

What do you say to the people?

Oh, everything, really everything.

Very wild.

Yes, yes, I believe that.

Someone says the bank is guilty.

And someone else?

Someone else says no, the bank is not guilty.

Yes, two opinions, typical internet.

But what do you think?

I think the bank knows something.

I think so.

I also see a bank.

Hmm, but the bet is not the same as guilty.

Oh, good point, Sophie.

Yes, that's right.

But why bet?

Maybe it's easier.

No right bank.

Yes, no right bank.

Just bet and clear.

That's also bad, actually.

Bad, but also love.

Love?

I don't think so.

Really?

You don't think so?

No, it's dangerous.

Not love.

Hmm, I'm in between.

Between them.

Typical Emma.

Hey, that's not funny.

No, sorry, but a little bit.

Okay, a little bit.

But good.

It's easy to get money.

Yes, that's good.

That's positive.

Yes, that's the most important thing.

Exactly, the money helps people.

Yes, yes, that's right.

But is it enough?

Ten million?

No, it's enough.

I think.

No, it's not enough.

But better than nothing.

Better than nothing.

Yes, that's right.

Trust me.

How do you think this is right?

If she's right.

If she's right.

What do you mean?

You're a nut.

Typical Emma.

Oh, yes, I say bizarre but logical.

Typical but logical.

Typical Emma.

No, but serious.

That's it.

Okay, okay, I'll snap it.

How about it?

It's a big story.

Yes, very big.

And of course you read it first.

Always.

I'm rich.

I read everything.

We know that, we know that.

You're not really worthy.

We're very worthy.

We're more famous, right?

Yes, we're good friends.

Yes, that's right.

Coffee?

I have coffee right now.

Yes, I love this story.

Okay, coffee.

Good idea.
