Basically they write that the were intimidated and one of the workers was beaten up, there were loads of bad words, emails and calls with threats. Somebody was not happy that something like Bitcoin Embassy was working. The creators of that embassy got scared and decided to back off and close the place.

If this story will be confirmed, I think that bitcoin is working very well. Who has threatened them is scared by bitcoin and want all the bitcoin related "services" shut down, now I hope that the police station will intervene and investigate.

Coindesk says Europe's first is located a stone's-throw from the Warsaw Stock Exchange and Poland’s central bank. That's the last place I would expect people getting beaten up. I would expect that kind of area to be swarming with police 24/7.

Located on Krucza 46 street, right in the city centre, the embassy is a stone's-throw from the Warsaw Stock Exchange and Poland’s central bank – two of the most powerful financial institutions in the Polish economy.
