FSF founder Richard Stallman robbed in Argentina

Richard Stallman, father of the FSF, had his bag containing his laptop, medicine, money and passport stolen after his talk at the University of Buenos Aires last week.

According to devthought.com blog, Stallman’s presentation back then was followed by a ritual when anyone in the audience could walk up to him, exchange a few words, get a sticker and a picture. Unfortunately, on this occasion someone decided to take advantage of the ruckus and take his bag.

Shortly after he realized his bag was gone, local paper Partido Pirata says, Stallman found himself in utter despair, cursing out loud.

As a result of this occurrence, he was forced to cancel his talk in Cordoba, and it’s still unknown how this will impact the rest of his speaking engagements throughout the world.
