attention; it’s dated back to January 2004. Bonnert and his family have had the

                   magazine DER BILD's reporter and a photographer visit their private ski cabin in
                   Austria.

                     Klaus Bonnert suddenly looks significantly bigger here, almost like an amateur

                   bodybuilder. It gives the impression that he might have started to supplement
                   his training with steroids. His face has gradually undergone a huge change as

                   well. Even though he it looks like he’s working out a lot, his face looks hardened

                   and old, like a sports coach. His eyes give off an expression of hardship. It’s
                   impossible to say whether he has received any kind of facelift over the years.

                     Tom browses through more pictures of Bonnert and his wife Mariann, who are
                   twenty years younger than him. The couple were married five years earlier at a

                   pompous wedding, where the overall colour theme was white, pink and light

                   blue – guests has been told to strictly wear the colours. Mariann looked she just
                   graduated from high school girl in the pictures; it’s hard for Tom to age her

                   precisely. The German gossip-press loved it, and Bonnert looked like someone

                   who was in ecstasy over the big media craze that the event of the wedding was.
                     While Tom skims BILD's idyllic snow report, he suddenly stumbles upon a place

                   in the interview where Bonnert is asked how he feels about his new nickname
                   "The Bulldog". Bonnert's answer is: “I think it’s a positive thing. A bulldog is a

                   very faithful dog, and I have proven my loyalty for many years over and over. My

                   aim with Kräsen is to bring the German people the best products. ”
                     There are a number of TV features with Bonnert, recent interviews and

                   advertisements for various dairy products. Bonnert always speaks very fast and

                   he ends his sentences in a big smile. In recent years, he started blinking with one
                   eye rapidly, as if it was a tick, and then he started gesticulating by making a small

                   circle with his thumb and index finger, which he holds up in front of the camera

                   as a kind of trademark, as he’s talking.
                     There is one more picture in an article in FINANCE with the headline: ALONE

                   AGAIN. It is from last year and is about the divorce between Gustav Kräsen and

                   his wife. At the bottom of the article, there is a small picture of Gustav Kräsen on
                   his way out in a large, black Mercedes. It's a very blurry paparazzi photo. Gustav

                   Kräsen is wearing a long cotton coat with a black scarf with white dots wrapped
                   elegantly around his neck. His big, smart sunglasses and a white Nike cap, which
