Interesting choice of word - stollen.
Stollen is a type of bread usually containing dried fruits and sometimes marzipan served at Christmas (especially in Germany).  My aunt sends us a loaf every year at Christmas.
So he's not wrong there when he says "No it was not stollen"  I find it hard to believe that a man with a PhD or two can't manage simple words.

 or will stollen be the basis for another defamation case?
