California's attachment statute, commencing at section 481.010 of the  Code of Civil Procedure, precludes an attachment in connection with a claim which is consensually secured by real property, except in specified circumstances. See Cal. Code Civ. Pro. 483.010. We surmise that, knowing this, plaintiff decided to attach property in South Korea where, presumably, there is no similar limitation. As the opinion reveals, plaintiff outsmarted itself in doing so.
