CEO Steals Champion’s Hat: Public Shaming & Lesson to Kids

Recently, after the kiss scene at the Cool Play Band Concert Kiss Cam’s baggage CEO cheating scandal

In the past few days, fans of the US Open have captured another super annoying scene!

In the audience seat next to the tennis court, the winner walked up to him and took off his hat and gave it to a child watching the game.

As a result, a man next to him actually took away the hat given to him by the star from the child in front of countless audiences and cameras…

This action was broadcast live by countless cameras, and people were also shocked by the shamelessness of the adult man:

After all, you are an adult. Are you shameless?

Soon, the Internet revealed his identity – he turned out to be the CEO of a Polish company, a millionaire…

On weekdays, he and his wife went out to the tennis circle, sponsored the Tennis Federation, and even built a private court in the mansion in the Polish small town of Kalish.

Now, he is in big trouble…

This matter starts three days ago.

The US Open is one of the four major tennis slams, as famous as Wimbledon, French Open and Australian Open. On August 29, the U.S. Open continued its second round in Queens, New York.

Polish player Kamil Majchrzak faces Russian star and ninth seed Karen Khachanov.

Russian players are the top ten regulars in the world, while Poland’s Mahzak hovers between 100 and 150 years, not top.

More importantly, Mahzak was banned for one and a half years due to drug testing issues and did not return until last year.

This game was originally considered a duel of huge strength. Unexpectedly, this game, which was originally generally underestimated, turned into a “five-set battle”.

In the men’s grand slam, the “five sets and three wins” system is adopted. Being able to play in five sets means that both sides try their best, and the physical, psychological and technical consumption is fully consumed, which is a veritable “fight”.

After more than four hours of tug-of-war, Mahzak defeated the seed player in an upset manner, creating the most important and important victory in his career, which also made him the focus of the entire game in an instant.

After the game, he was so excited that he couldn’t hide it. As we bid farewell to the stadium, we walked towards the stands and signed the audience one by one, thanking them for witnessing and sharing this hard-won victory.

Among the crowd, there was a blond boy who was only eight or nine years old, with his body almost poked out of the railing, his eyes flashing, and he kept waving and cheering for him.

So Mahzak took off the hat on his head and prepared to give it to the young fans.

For any child, this is an unforgettable moment of happiness in his life – the little boy stretched out his hands, his face full of anticipation and excitement…

However, just as the hat was about to fall into his hand, a middle-aged man standing next to him suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the hat away.

The little boy was stunned on the spot, his eyes were full of surprise. He subconsciously reached out to take back the hat, but the man turned around and avoided it lightly.

The hat was like this and the man stuffed it into his own bag.

The child was so disappointed that he was about to cry, and he immediately protested: “What are you doing?”

But the man didn’t care about the child at all.

And Mahzak, who was not far away, had turned around and walked away without realizing the situation at all.

All of this was clearly recorded by the camera and the audience. The video, which was just a few dozen seconds, was uploaded to social media and quickly spread around the world.

The overwhelming anger in the comment section quickly gave this “hat robber” a label – “the most annoying person on the Internet”.

Within just a few hours, this video of the hat being snatched quickly spread on social media, arousing the attention and anger of European and American netizens.

“It’s so disgusting! The whole world has seen the video, but he doesn’t even pay back his hat or apologize. He just put his head down.”

“What a loser. He can’t even apologize to the little boy, which means he has no sympathy for the child at all.”

“The only adult among a group of children who desperately snatched autographs, but still felt that he was not naive? Outrageous.”

“It’s terrible. The worst thing is that he keeps laughing”

Public opinion quickly pushed the strange middle-aged man into the spotlight. Close-up of his face was taken, and countless “network detectives” began to compare.

In less than a day, his identity was exposed-

This is not an ordinary person, but the millionaire Peter Szerek, the CEO of Drogbruk, a large Polish paving and garden company.

His company was founded in 1999 and mainly engaged in road paving and landscape projects, and is quite large in the local area.

Szerek himself is doing well in the business world and is called “a rich man who started from scratch” by the outside world.

In addition to doing business, he is also an avid tennis fan.

Together with his wife Anna, he not only built a private tennis court in his mansion, but also invited Polish star Usulla Radwanska to play ball at home.

He himself also participated in amateur competitions and was well-known in the second-level group of the Kalish Tennis Association. More importantly, he is also a sponsor of the Polish Tennis Federation and has some connection with player Mahzak himself…

In other words, if he really wants, he has the ability and channels to get the player’s signature or souvenir, but in such a global live broadcast, he reached out to steal a child’s hat…

All of a sudden, the whole network got angry…

With the identification confirmed, angry netizens quickly pointed their finger at his company Drogbruk.

On Poland’s job search website and evaluation platform, Drogbruk’s page was instantly overwhelmed by negative reviews: “The company is not trustworthy.”

Some users even leave messages:

“If you can even grab the hat of a child, how kind can the company be in doing things?”

On the afternoon of August 30, a post signed “Piotr Szczerek” suddenly appeared on this platform.

The content is jaw-dropping—in the post, he admitted that he had taken the hat, but said that it was “giving a life lesson to the child.” He wrote:

“There is a rule of life: first come first served. If you’re fast enough, you can get it.”

“I want to remind you that insulting public figures is legally responsible. Any offensive remarks, slander and allusions can be justified in prosecution.”

Within a few hours, another post signed by “Anna Szczerek” (his wife) appeared on the same platform, claiming that Peter “had committed suicide” due to public opinion pressure.

Another half an hour later, a new statement named “Piotr” appeared, and he wrote in the article:

“I deserve all the insults. I ask everyone to give me another chance, and forgive me if I can…I am willing to do anything to repay my debt to that child and society.”

However, because the platform allows anonymous posting, it is impossible to confirm the identity of the poster, these so-called “statements” are likely to be just impersonating netizens…

But no matter what, the screenshots are circulating very widely.Netizens spontaneously initiated the hashtag “Boycott Drogbruk”.Within a few days, this paving company, which was originally only famous in the local circle, became an international laughing stock.

At the same time, Szerek’s personal social account was also blocked, and he was almost slandered in the comments, forcing him to turn off the comment function and eventually stopped the account.

Some financial media even reported that Drogbruk’s reputation was seriously damaged after this storm, and the outside world was worried about order loss, and the company’s valuation may face the risk of a decline…

Then, Polish tennis star, Camille Mahzak, finally stood up.

He launched a missing person notice on Instagram. He wrote:

“After the game, I didn’t notice that the hat was not delivered to the little boy. Thanks to the sponsor for the hat, I still have a lot of it – please help me find that child.”

In just a few hours, the power of the Internet appeared again.

The little boy whose hat was stolen was soon found, his name was Brock. The next day, Mahzak met him in person, delivered the signature hat and a large bag of tennis equipment to him, and took a photo together.

“Hello world! I wish you a wonderful day with Brock!”

At the same time, Mahzak called on fans not to continue to blast online in an interview:

“It was probably some kind of misunderstanding, and he might have been excited for a moment. It might have been too late when he realized what was going on.”

“I mean, that’s how it’s happening. It’s not right, but the past is gone.”

“The thing has been settled, everyone is happy, it’s time to put it down.”

Currently, according to media reports, Szerek appears to be trying to contact the boy’s family, hoping to apologize and repair the relationship.

But as of now, he has not issued any apology in his official capacity.

I can only say that even if it is a subconscious reaction, this is indeed inappropriate. What do you think?
