Greenpeace ordered to pay more than $660 million over Dakota Access Pipeline protests
"#Greenpeace has described Energy Transfer’s case as a clear-cut example of SLAPPs, referring to a lawsuit designed to bury activist groups in legal fees and ultimately silence dissent. SLAPP is an acronym for “strategic lawsuit against public participation.”"

"Greenpeace doesn’t have the money to pay the damages, the group’s interim Executive Director Sushma Raman told E&E News. But the case is not about the money, she said, it is meant to silence the company’s critics."

"It is our collective assessment that the jury verdict against #Greenpeace in North Dakota reflects a deeply flawed trial with multiple due process violations that denied Greenpeace the ability to present anything close to a full defense. Attorneys on our team monitored every minute of the proceedings and found multiple violations of due process that denied Greenpeace its right to a fair trial. "

@CelloMomOnCars Perhaps Greenpeace could remove all its assets in the US & refuse to pay.
