PPWK's zł.200 million slap on the wrist for failing to map out its data correctly

In 2002, PPWK' shares plunged to rock bottom, turning into penny stock, after the company adjusted its first-half sales figures from zł.14.2 million to zł.8.6 million. Jacek Błaszczyński, PPWK's then chief executive, was immediately dismissed and disappeared from the public eye after the scandal broke, only surfacing yesterday to contact PPWK's lawyer to discuss the issue. The company hopes to appeal against the KPWiG verdict. (Parkiet, p. 1) J.J
