Pologne : Orlen perd 230 millions de dollars dans un scandale d'achat de pétrole en cryptomonnaies
Le géant énergétique polonais Orlen a subi une perte massive en tentant d'acheter du pétrole vénézuélien via des devises numériques.
Selon une enquête du Financial Times, le groupe énergétique Orlen a perdu près de 230 millions de dollars en tentant d'acheter du pétrole vénézuélien avec des cryptomonnaies. Cette opération s'inscrivait dans la stratégie de la Pologne de diversifier ses sources d'approvisionnement énergétique après l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie en 2022.
Le Financial Times a révélé comment cette transaction a viré au fiasco financier, constituant l'un des plus gros scandales financiers que le pays ait connus.
