Aerci Arreal Olm chained himself to the Barão do Rio Branco forum, vowing to remain until he lost consciousness. This initial demonstration, however, lacked basic amenities like water, shelter, or sanitary facilities. Less than 24 hours later, Olm abandoned his post.

Olm unchained himself and moved his protest. Accompanied by TelexFree supporters, he relocated to the Acre Public Prosecutor's Office. This shift moved the focus from the legal system evaluating the Ponzi evidence to the prosecutors who supplied it.

The new protest site appeared better equipped for a prolonged stay. It featured a tent, comfortable chairs, reading materials, and a portable toilet. Olm had vowed not to end his protest until TelexFree's Brazilian assets were unfrozen, a decision made by a judge, not the Public Prosecutor's Office.

Soon after Olm settled into the new location, TelexFree lawyer Roberto Duarte arrived. Duarte expressed his support for Olm and spoke publicly.

Duarte stated the defense made a tentative agreement proposal on December 11, 2013, and awaited a response from the MP/AC. This proposal was previously rejected during court-ordered mediation on November 22. TelexFree had offered to return money to investors if they were allowed to resume operations in Brazil.

The proposal failed. The specific response Duarte and TelexFree currently await remains unclear. A company lawyer appearing at a protest, particularly one framed as a starvation protest, suggested a deeper connection to TelexFree's operations than just legal counsel.
