Piesiewicz denies the charges, maintaining he purchased the watch himself and lost approximately one million PLN in the exchange’s collapse. Following his dismissal, the Katowice District Court upheld his temporary arrest on September 14, 2026. Acting president Marian Kmita has reported severe financial chaos within the PKOl.
