Told my family to stop at a Chevron only as a last option.

Donziger represented over 30,000 farmers and indigenous peoples in Ecuador in a court case against Chevron (formally Texaco) for environmental harm and health problems caused by oil drilling. Donziger and his team won over $9 billion in damages for the plaintiffs. In response to this decision, Chevron sued Donziger in the US for corruption. Donziger’s case was heard without a jury, and he was charged with criminal contempt of court, again without a jury. Donziger was placed under house arrest for over two years, spent over six weeks in jail for these charges, and was disbarred. To this day, the plaintiffs in Ecuador have not received a single cent of the damages owed.
