Polish millionaire Piotr Szczerek statement authenticity has become a global talking point after the US Open video went viral.

The Drogbruk CEO was filmed taking a signed tennis cap meant for a child. Following this, a statement attributed to him appeared online on social media platforms. But whether these messages are real or fake is still not confirmed.

Full statement (translated): "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. 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 you were faster, you would have it. Regarding online hate, I remind you that insulting a public figure is subject to legal liability. All offensive comments, slander, and insinuations will be analysed for the possibility of taking the matter to court. In the end, chin up, hats off, less venom, more sportsmanship."

Tennis player Majchrzak took to social media to find the young fan. The tennis player gifted him a new signed cap and other tennis goodies after locating him. "Today, after warm up, I had a nice meeting," the tennis pro wrote, adding: "Do you recognise [the cap]?"
