Well there is no crime from me. Or do you see one? I was the victim of a brutal attack...

In short:
❌ No trespass
❌ No crime
✅ All cases closed
Next: accountability for how AOM’s false claims led to my injuries and police action.

It actually does. Basic logic. To conclude there was a crime, charges need to be pressed so without charges, there is no crime. Basic logic. You are welcome.

Conclusion: Lies triggered physical violence and severe injury.
Both cases are now closed with no charges against me.
The next question is accountability for those who lied and caused harm. ⚖️

The police report acknowledges that the security guards jumped on my ribcage. Police handcuffed me and took me into custody and then released me shortly thereafter – not an arrest according to them (but felt like one).

That “stalker” label mirrors a separate false narrative pushed by Eva Derous in Belgium — which never led to any conviction, just temporary measures based on her unproven claims.
Now @aomconnect.bsky.social ’s team used the same smear tactic in Denmark.

At the Charlottenborg courtyard, things got even worse.
I was labelled a “stalker” in the police log — a false and defamatory claim originating from two security guards acting under @aomconnect.bsky.social ’s instruction.

Despite this, AOM security still called police, claiming I needed to be removed.
But the police have now confirmed:
📄 The Bella Center incident was never a criminal case.
🚫 No trespass.
⚖️ No wrongdoing on my part.

At the Bella Center, @aomconnect.bsky.social told police I had been “excluded 2½ years ago.”
That’s false.
The exclusion attempt happened only this year (2025) — and it failed because AOM violated its own bylaws and Robert’s Rules of Order (no hearing, no evidence).

⚠️ False Claims: How the Academy of Management ( @aomconnect.bsky.social ) Lied to Police

Now that all charges against me are dropped, the real story begins: how AOM personnel fed false information to Danish police to justify violence at #AOM2025.

Jonas Lang @jonasac.bsky.social · 2h

It actually does. No charge means no crime.

Jonas Lang @jonasac.bsky.social · 2h

well they concluded no crime - I think we can agree on that, can we? Similar to the Duisburg case where I actually now will be filing for restitution for false arrest. In the denmark case it was only 30mins so not sure about that... but still. All false. I did everything correct.

The only file treated as a “criminal case” (0100-20210-00795-25) was about the Charlottenborg courtyard attack — where I was physically restrained by guards.
That case has now been closed under Retsplejeloven §749(1) — no charges.

After I provided evidence of @aomconnect.bsky.social ’s ethical violations and whistleblower retaliation, police have now clarified that my access to the Bella Center was never treated as a criminal case — meaning no trespass occurred.

I requested information from Copenhagen Police about the violent July 2025 Academy of Management incidents. My first request was denied (29 Sept 2025), citing a “pending criminal case” — without saying what it was about.

⚖️ Academy of Management ( @aomconnect.bsky.social ) Whistleblower Retaliation Case – All Charges Against me Dropped

All cases against me in Copenhagen are now closed. The focus now turns to how AOM’s wrongful actions and false claims triggered these incidents.

🏆 Zijlstra presents himself as an expert in “inclusive redesign.”
Apparently, that includes redesigning PhD theses so credit follows politics, not science — and redesigning supervision so ethics conveniently vanish.
A lasting impact, just not the kind EAWOP should celebrate. ⚖️

Two cases, same pattern:
👉 Late-stage takeover
👉 Pressured student
👉 Institutional approval
This isn’t mentorship — it’s systematic credit capture.

The evidence is clear:
✔️ I co-authored the papers and supervised the dissertation.
✔️ The thesis content overlaps directly with my prior research.
Yet credit was reassigned — again — to Zijlstra and Hülsheger. ⚖️

Jonas Lang @jonasac.bsky.social · 7h

5/
Six years(!) later (2020), the dissertation appeared with Zijlstra (main) and Hülsheger (second). Both claimed credit for work I had already supervised to completion.
Hülsheger never contributed; the overlap with my research was obvious.

After I raised concerns about the Schwager case, they changed tactics.
The student was blocked from submitting papers so dissertation credit could still be grabbed — while my coauthorships were left out of the thesis.

Jonas Lang @jonasac.bsky.social · 7h

3/
HR suddenly demanded that the student submit a first thesis version before contract renewal — documented in an email from 2014.
By then I had provided all feedback and the dissertation was complete. I never heard from it again.

I supervised this project to completion in 2014. There’s a long email trail showing me guiding every analysis step by step.
Fred Zijlstra commented on papers; Ute Hülsheger had no role at all.
The work built directly on my own dissertation about unforeseen change.

🐍🎓 Zijlstra–Hülsheger Case II – The Second PhD Grab
After the ETS-funded Schwager dissertation, another PhD at Maastricht University followed the same pattern.

This time: Alicia Walkowiak’s PhD (2020)—Dynamic performance: the role of task and individual characteristics.
