50k is still appalling from an ethical and moral point of view, but that makes sense. And it would probably be millions of pesos when exchanged.  

 Mind you, I ABSOLUTELY agree with you on the total lack of ethics implied in paying criminals. It's like rewarding the crime. It's also stupid because you need to buy the rights to fictional stories (it's intellectual property), but you don't need the rights to real life events. 

  So, all in all, I agree with you on the absolute wrong of paying a criminal for her "story". I just couldn't believe it had been millions of dollars and suspected corruption or bribery or politicians being involved.  Now, 50k could certainly be possible, and that'd be millions of pesos.

That said... Poor Netflix! According to your link m, the movie was produced by Amazon Prime! I'll check that out, and as a paying customer, if I find this is true, I'll send a physical letter. I'm not financing murderers.

Yep, is Amazon prime.. my bad. Regarding the number I agree with you, criminals shouldnt be awarded for their crimes in any number.

About the millions.. the thing is that the media in Argentina loves to inflate numbers, event and things to get more rating.

More spectator rating = more money from propaganda.

Its not the first time the media tells a lie in Argentina.

The media here has been occasionally found spreading a lie, though truth be told, it's usually due to carelessness more than ill intent.

And thats why I don't tend to follow newspapers or the press..

One has to be very discerning and check stuff carefully. So far, BBC, The Guardian and Reuters are the winners. And one still must be careful.

For me reuters is the only reliable.

Reuters is the best, at least at this point. I've never seen them screw up. This could change, but so far, I agree that Reuters wins.
