Ferry Corsten Robbed @ Gunpoint
View this Thread in Original format
Jer.
It appears as though Ferry Corsten was robbed at Gunpoint while in Sao Paulo, Brazil following an appearance at a Local Radio Station.

More details to come as I get them.

This is just a shame, though.

i wouldnt doubt it... sao paolo is a very dangerous city. Especially for a blonde guy who was probably wearing high fashion.

argentina was much safer than brazil, which is why i didnt go to brazil much.

DJMag. I wouldn't around about this.

But yeah, that sucks. I've been told Ferry's always really cool about talking to / getting in there with fans.. This won't help things any in the future. :(

Jayx1 does have a point, a guy like Ferry *would* stand out (I'd assume), and considering I'm making plans to vacation in Brazil.. This REALLY doesn't help.

be very careful.. i only went with reputable travel companies. If you are with travel companies u are usually safe because they are mafia run so no one will touch you. If you go as a casual tourist the hotel operators may even be in on the robbery.. i know someone who got robbed between their hotel and the taxi!!!

always go with a travel guide..thats my advice.

Argentina is much much safer... i felt good walking around there but not brazil.

phew.. for a moment i thought 'gunpoint' was a new club in TO-- i thought I was *really* out of the loop!

my brothers' friend got robbed in rio weeks ago.

the guy flashed his gun and said hand over everything in spanish...



don't wear anything that has value nor bring more than 20$ in your pockets... these cities are just ridiculously dangerous.

I'm guessing that's why after living in Brazil for 45 years and never being robbed once (living in Sao Paulo)my dad got robbed in Buenos Aires, right?! :rolleyes:
