Furthermore, the news that MJ's lawsuit was rejected by the court in L.A. was reported only by a German newspaper, the "Lübecker Nachrichten" because Dirk Hülsenbeck, former fan club president of the MJ fan club Angel (it dissolved in 2003 in the wake of arguments about Dieter Wiesner) is now (some say, again) a member of Marcel Avram's team and gave some info to the German press yesterday.
