Dirk Scheringa is outraged about sales of the latest loans from DSB Bank to NIBC. According to the founder of the bank, the acquisition price of 1.6 billion euros is proof that his company has been wrongly pushed into the abyss by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and the Ministry of Finance. Scheringa is working on a lawsuit against the regulator and the State, claiming 830 million euros.

“NIBC would never have put such a mega amount on the table for an unhealthy mortgage portfolio. My bank was unnecessarily destroyed by then DNB president Nout Wellink and then Minister of Finance Wouter Bos,” explains Scheringa.
He has maintained all these years that De Nederlandsche Bank deliberately leaked in 2009 that the bank would come under supervision. After publication in de Volkskrant Subsequently, money was withdrawn en masse at the bank, which ultimately meant the downfall of DSB.
‘Forced renunciation of rights’
Scheringa is happy that all creditors will get their money back, and even interest, once the bankruptcy has been settled. The trustees expect this to happen at the end of the year. Yet he is also outraged because, in his own words, he was ‘falsely forced by the then DNB president Nout Wellink to relinquish all his rights and his pension accrual’. In their own words, it concerns 830 million euros.
The former bank director also sneezes at the trustees who, according to him, would have earned more than 60 million euros from handling the bankruptcy. Scheringa states that the only person who still suffers ‘substantial damage from this unnecessary drama’ is himself.
Liability procedure

That is why a team of lawyers has recently been working on follow-up proceedings against the State and De Nederlandsche Bank, in which he is demanding 830 million euros. Scheringa also states that ‘if necessary, it will continue to fight to the European Court of Human Rights.’
