we would try to start seizing assets in other countries." According to Donziger, "If we get a
judgment out of the trial court, we're coming back immediately, - soon as we can, -to get that

arbitration is completed," their counsel refused to agree to stay enforcement: "No, your honor.
We would not and cannot do that."

accelerated their plan to pressure Chevron by using the fraudulent judgment to institute
attachment proceedings and other enforcement actions, in defiance of a temporary restraining
order issued by this Court. On February 14,2011, Fajardo stated that "we're going to
immediately ask any country where Chevron has assets ... that Chevron's assets be attached."
And a day later, referring to this Court's issuance of a temporary restraining order, Fajardo stated
