(…)) of bonds with a total value of PLN 150 million to be used for investment (purchase of land for multi-family housing construction) exceeding the level of generally accepted business risk (due to the amount of financing and interest on the bonds – 25% per annum and F.’s freedom (…) in deciding how to spend the proceeds from the bond issue and the inability to obtain similar financing from other sources), in a situation where F. (…) was unable to meet its obligations from the outset and the defendant was aware of the existence of other unsecured creditors of F.
