Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million

New submitter haruchai writes "The Reiser kids, now aged 12 and 11, have had a lawsuit filed against the former Linux developer, inventor of ReiserFS and convicted murderer of the mother of his children, to the tune of $15 million. It's believed he may have hidden assets and a judgment is sought so a search for these can be conducted." A judge denied requests that the kids testify or return to the U.S. for their own well-being.

This just shows that FOSS fanatics are maniacs in real life too, and can't be trusted. I mean come on, you put your business into hands of these maniacs? Maniacs!

I see the validity of your lucid argument and agree with you.

Hidden assets.

Probably in an vnode. Try "reiserfsck".

In America, you sue kids?! ;)

I know where the assets are hidden!

It's stuffed in the back seat of his car!

If Hans offers to drive his children to where the money is hidden, I hope they will have the sense to take a cab instead.

Before Hans Reiser when debating one man projects they would always say "what if the lead developer gets hit by a bus?" now it's said "what if the lead developer gets arrested for murder?"
