#3 When the case was first brought forward Chevron supposedly was willing to pay a 'convenience fee' of over a billion dollars to make it go away even though they felt - and still feel - the case was without merit. Their offer was rejected outright so Chevron lawyered up to the max. They got too greedy and that forced Chevron to fight. I'm not optimistic that Chevron will ultimately prevail though, because with assets all over the globe, eventually some 3rd party nation - Argentina and Venezuela come to mind - will decide to sieze the in-country Chevron assets on behalf of Ecuador (and of course keep a 'handling fee' for doing so.)

#5 I always wanted a $10,000 a month retainer, all I got was the aluminum and poured plastic job. Not happy.
