AbiWord Fund Robbed (Slashdot)
SabberFlapper writes "According to this Announcement to the developer
list of Abiword the Abiword fund was robbed. Dom Lachowicz writes:
'I'm duty bound to let you all know that the AbiWord Fund/Tip Jar has
been robbed approximately three weeks ago. I'm telling you this now,
rather than sooner, since I believed that Paypal would do something about
my complaints during the interim, and that this would all be resolved
quietly. Today, 23 days later, this does not look like it will happen.
[..] I do however, recommend doing several things: 1) Writing to Paypal,
in letter, email, or fax form alerting them to this travesty. 2) Calling
Paypal on AbiWord's behalf. 3) Writing or calling your Congressman/woman,
pointing out that Paypal is acting like a bank, but not operating under
formal banking laws. 4) Boycotting Paypal because of these reasons, and
the fact that their system is notoriously insecure, and encouraging
others to do the same.'" Of all the groups to steal from -- AbiWord?
