So what I took the hat, life is first come…: Rich Polish CEO now threatens online trolls

So what I took the hat, life is first come...: Rich Polish CEO now threatens online trolls

Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek has reportedly defended snatching the hat from a child at the US open and said the child was slow.

Piotr Szczerek, the millionaire CEO who went viral for snatching a signed hat from a child at the US Open, reportedly reacted to the online hate that he and his company are getting. According to Reddit, the CEO has released a statement on the Gowork platform defending what he did. However, it’s not confirmed whether the statement now going viral in his name was actually issued by him. In the statement, he admitted that he snatched the hat from the kid but there is nothing wrong as he was quicker than the child, he said. He also threatened to take legal action against those who are trolling him. “The recent incident at the tennis match has caused a disproportionate online uproar. It’s all about the famous hat, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, life is first come, first served,” the alleged statement read. “I understand that some people might not like it, but please, let’s not make a global scandal out of the hat. It’s just a hat. If yoy were faster, you would have it,” he reportedly said on a Goworkd forum.”Regarding online hate, I remind you that insulting a public figure is subject to legal liability. All offensive comments, slander, and insinuations will be analyzed for the possibility of taking the matter to court.””In the end, chin up, hats off, less venom, more sportsmanship,” he wrote.Tennis star Kamil Majchrzak, who was signing the hats, took note of the viral video and urged the Internet to unite him with his young fan. He met the child, identified as Brock, and gave him a signed hat and some other gifts. On the CEO’s impish behavior, Kamil said he thinks the CEO did it in the heat of the moment. “I don’t want to say something wrong, because I know how viral it went. But what I think is he was also acting in the moment of emotions, in the heat of the moment, and probably when he realised what happened, it was already too late. I mean that’s pretty much it. This wasn’t right, but what’s gone is gone.I mean, we fixed it, everybody’s happy now, and I think it’s time to put it behind for everyone,” Kamil said. Go to Source
