📸 🔦 EAWOP’s False Claims
Prague: EAWOP accused me of “unethical behavior” — baseless, no hearing, no evidence. A continuation of executive committee member Derous’ retaliation for reporting her misconduct. The lies justified attacking, injuring, and dragging me out of the venue.

🎥 After the Duisburg/ @dgps.bsky.social & Copenhagen / @aomconnect.bsky.social conference decisions, both finding no grounds for trespass, it’s time for Denver/ @siopofficial.bsky.social to do the same.

Reporting misconduct is important for science 🤜📖

🎥 Spotlight: The Derous Case – EUR CWI Agrees to Investigate

@erasmusuni.bsky.social ’s Integrity Commission (EUR CWI) has now opened a review of the Derous et al. (2009, 2015) papers—long ignored by Ghent.
RMSEA falsification & false DF stats finally under scrutiny. ⚖️

Meanwhile, EAWOP still tries to justify its violent assault in Prague through a civil-court motion that reads like a goon-squad manifesto.
Violence, smears, exclusions — all to protect misconduct.
Science replaced by intimidation.

Not all prosecutors see it yet: I remain falsely charged in Denver (US @apajournals.bsky.social, @siopofficial.bsky.social ) and possibly in Lüneburg (GER) & Salzburg (AUT) - both @dgps.bsky.social.
But the tide is turning — law enforcement begins to see through the retaliation.

Positive step: prosecutors in Duisburg & Copenhagen dropped all charges — essentially admitting wrongful arrest.
In Copenhagen I have proof of false information → I can file a complaint.
In Duisburg I’ll seek compensation for wrongful detainment. ⚖️

To bypass rules, they invent “codes of conduct” and use them to justify unlawful exclusions.
When I still showed up at conferences, I was attacked by security and arrested after false police claims.

The pattern is clear: ethical reporting → retaliation.
Professional organizations silence critics instead of investigating.
Such exclusions violate their own bylaws, which require fair hearing & due process.

I reported research misconduct by Eva Derous, Ute Hülsheger, Johnny Fontaine, Jessica Lang/Ippolito & Fred Zijlstra.
These cases are documented in Science Eroded and in separate official misconduct reports.

The retaliation I faced for reporting misconduct (see Science Eroded) is painful — but revealing.
It shows how deep the ethics crisis in psychology runs and shakes my belief in what science should stand for.

⚙️💥 After the Duisburg & Copenhagen Decisions:
Misconduct Reporting, Retaliation & Academic Freedom in Psychology/Management

Prosecutors now see through false police reports. Both in Duisburg (GER) & Copenhagen (DEN), charges were dropped ⚖️ I can now counter-claim wrongful detention.

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.

It actually does. No charge means no crime.

Jonas Lang @jonasac.bsky.social · 14h
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.
