Does he talk about the Dutch Supreme Court's decision, or any of the other countries who have found the original decision was based on fraud? --scary conspiracy if he's innocent eh?
Last August, the arbitral tribunal in The Hague also ruled in favor of Chevron in its final award on liability, finding the Republic of Ecuador liable for violating its obligations under international treaties, investment agreements and international law. The tribunal ordered the Republic of Ecuador to permanently render unenforceable the fraudulent Ecuadorian judgment against Chevron Corporation. In a unanimous ruling by a panel including an arbitrator chosen by the Republic of Ecuador, the tribunal held that the $9.5 billion judgment rendered against Chevron in Ecuador in 2011 was procured through fraud, bribery and corruption and was based on claims that had been already settled and released by the Republic of Ecuador years earlier. The tribunal concluded that the Ecuadorian judgment “violates international public policy” and “should not be recognised or enforced by the courts of other States.” The award also declared the Republic of Ecuador responsible for reparation to Chevron under international law should the Ecuadorian judgment ever be enforced anywhere in the world.

It's not suffering if you have to put off buying a new yacht for another year. You'll survive being parked next to a nicer boat at the marina for a bit longer...

Motherfucker's got a pocket square for god's sake. I mean, if you are a 24-property-owning motherfucker and you feel the need to tell the world about your "suffering", then you should at BARE MINUMUM, take out the damn pocket square and don't stand in front of your private jet. America has achieved peak neoliberalism.

What an interesting story, and scary if he's innocent.
The Supreme Court of the Netherlands has ruled in favor of Chevron Corporation, rejecting the Republic of Ecuador’s attempts to annul decisions of an international arbitral tribunal in The Hague that ordered Ecuador to take all steps necessary to prevent enforcement of a $9.5 billion Ecuadorian judgment against Chevron anywhere in the world. The Ecuadorian judgment previously was found by the international arbitral tribunal and by U.S. courts to have been obtained through fraud, bribery and corruption.

Ecuador still is a sovereign state and can reject judgments that don't come from its own courts.

Unless all 24 properties are defaulting on rent and those are that person's only source of revenue, I don't think I'm gonna cry.

Actually, the guy is a CEO, I bet the slumlord bit is just a side line, let the treasury look closely into his business and indict him on RICO stuff.

eat the rich.
