Now they don’t care anymore – they are creating their own empire.
- Q.-Do you have a fixed rate mortgage?
- We haven’t, we’ve moved many times, but all of our families have a fixed rate mortgage. It was the key. And we said it.
- How do you remember that December 17th?
- Like one fateful day, we’d cancel everything.
- And the next day?
- It was really immediate. They called us and told us everything and the next day we couldn’t connect to the company email. On December 31, they entered our house to take our things. On the same day they told us: either we’d pick them up on the 1st or they’d leave them on the street.
- Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
- (Silvia) Now we are different people. If that hadn’t happened, could we invest in so many things now? I do not know. Personally we are much better than then. Before, the standard of living we had… We lived a yuppie life and we weren’t willing to earn money. But even if we are fine now, no one takes away our suffering: I would delete that day and that video.
- If only their bosses and not all of Spain had seen it, do you think they would have been kicked out?
- Obviously not. It was very strong, I recorded the video during the company lunch. They told me: “Of course, run, go and say the name of the company.” They saw what state he was in. I sent it to my colleagues and family and no one said anything to me. I don’t know, haven’t they seen it? [se ren] We turned off our phones, went to dinner, came home and had 40 flames missing. digital journalist [el medio que public el vdeo] He saw us, he edited that video and they decided to take it down. This seems outrageous to me – they prioritized visits to video and viral spread of reputation.
- Have they hit rock bottom but haven’t stopped exposing themselves on the networks, as people perceived them?
- (Silvia) It was bizarre. People would stop us on the street to ask for pictures like we were famous but we didn’t even have enough to eat. Am I known and have no place to die?
- Did they say no to something?
- (Silvia) Actually many things… They offered us to do porn with a blank cheque. We were very clear that not even with all the money in the world we were going to make it.
- What are the salvations? His pair?
- (Silvia) Yes, we are a couple and being together has saved us. People think we fell in love working but what’s up, I’ve known Simón in my city, all my life, we went to high school and we’ve been together for nine years. If I hadn’t been with Simón… I don’t know if we would have resisted. It’s hard to say, but I know I would have tried to kill myself. Nobody understood me, not even my family.
- The Internet: A Nest of Hate or…?
- People have been good to us. Tenderness. In the beginning we had it haters but over time they realized that we are normal people who have nothing left from one day to the next.
- Do you believe in the new year new life? How long did it take for them to resurface?
- (Simon) We made several new lives. Since our life went to hell, we’ve moved around a lot. We now live in Barcelona. A year and a half ago we decided to create a Jack and the marijuana company (it’s all strictly legal) and we saw that people trusted us. We went from having nothing to seeing 25,000 euros in the accounts of people who trusted us.
- They were right about fixed rate mortgages, what do they recommend as visionaries for 2023?
- (Simón) We are making forecasts for the next five years. We are very forward-thinking with that advice but when we give it we miss none: get out of bitcoin, get out of the stock market and buy dollars, no. And above all, don’t ask for a loan anywhere. But if we say it, it’s because it’s very clear. We are not witches.
Simn and Silvia do not hang up on WhatsApp without remembering their great achievement, from which they expect great results in 2023: a THC company in Macedonia from which they have already harvested their first plantation. They also talk about their dream: to create a bank advisor product which can bring all your projects together. “That those who trust us can invest in everything we do at the same time.” They also want to become the one day punkbank. One who accepts all. Where investments and projects can be carried out that the bank “does not accept”. “It would already be like achieving success, because from the video they don’t want to hire Simón in any bank”, says Silvia enthusiastically.
