Description
The article focuses on the entrepreneur Anton Pesek, who in the 1920s shook the circles of Ljubljana through a series of financial scandals. In 1919, he formed the Yugoslav Credit Institution, and in the mid-1920s, the Ljubljana Loan and Savings Bank and the Yugoslav Insurance Savings Bank, because of the many projects for which he needed money. In all cases, Pesek used the institutions to make generous loans to himself, placing himself, family members and dependants in top positions. He used practices such as false claims of financial stability, promises of extremely high interest rates and tempting offers of employment in exchange for a deposit. All Pesek's financial institutions ended up in liquidation or bankruptcy, and at his trial in 1927 he was acquitted of fraud charges thanks to a strong legal defense and sentenced to only ten months in prison.

- Prispevek obravnava podjetnika Antona Peska, ki je v 20. letih prejšnjega stoletja s serijo finančnih afer vznemiril ljubljanske kroge. Zaradi številnih projektov, za katere je potreboval denar, je leta 1919 formiral Jugoslovanski kreditni zavod, sredi 20. let pa še Ljubljansko posojilnico in Jugoslovansko zavarovalno hranilnico. V vseh primerih je Pesek ustanove izkoriščal za radodarna posojila samemu sebi, na najvišje položaje pa je nastavljal sebe, družinske člane in od sebe odvisne osebe. Pri poslovanju se je posluževal praks, kot so lažna zagotovila o osebah, ki jamčijo za finančno stabilnost, obljube o izjemno visokih obrestih in mamljive ponudbe za zaposlitev v zameno za kavcijo. Vse Peskove finančne ustanove so končale v likvidaciji ali stečaju, na sodnem postopku leta 1927 pa je bil zahvaljujoč kvalitetni obrambi opran obtožbe goljufije in je bil obsojen le na deset mesecev zapora.
