Yeah, I remember that. I think I still have a framed, very old cover of Wprost with Roman Kluska (the owner of Optimus) after we won a pyrrhic victory against the state for that, years after the fact. Of course, none of the bureaucrats responsible for burning Optimus to the ground got even as much as a citation. In fact, I vaguely recall reading about them getting bonuses for slapping a big fine on Optimus.

The framed cover used to be a reminder that, in general, the state and the Polish equivalent of the IRS is not, and never will be, your friend. Sure, I've had some friendly and helpful chats with multiple people working for our IRS but I've never forgotten Optimus.
