They were the ones that requested the change of venue to Ecuador, no doubt thinking they could minimize their losses by bribing the judge. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for justice to be served that way throughout many countries in South America. But I have little doubt that the plaintiffs also bribed the judge for a favorable ruling.
