Where did you find that misinformation?
Third-world "shitholes" exist because of greedy western capitalists.

How a company got away after committing the worst oil spill in history

"There is also no suggestion that Texaco, which was swallowed by Chevron in 2000, didn’t do it.

"It admitted to having committed the horrendous environmental crimes in the Ecuadorian rainforest.

"But then, as the official story goes, as told by Chevron, Texaco cleaned it up and left. Chevron blames Texaco’s partner in Ecuador for the remaining mess."

"But the pollution didn’t vanish.

"How could it?

"A conservative calculation shows that at least 18 billion US gallons (68bn litres) of toxic waste and 17m gallons of crude oil were dumped on sensitive rainforest soil on an area spanning 4,400 square kilometres (1,700 square miles).

"Rex Weyler, co-founder of Greenpeace International, told me that the amount of polluted waste dumped in the area could be as much as 140 billion gallons, or nearly nine times the 16bn gallons Chevron admitted to in court documents, he says."

I'll tell you how they got away with it, they got a corrupt democrat lawyer to sue them.

it gets worse! he was barred from profiting from this judgement…and that’s how he repeatedly violating the court orders! for over 6 years!

the bum deserves more the 6 months

How did Donziger profit from spending 800 days under house arrest before entering a federal correctional institution? How does those alleged profits compare to Chevron's over the same amount of time?

Donziger is a life long Obama stooge and rip-off artist. Sounds about right that he’s sitting in jail.

"After working as a journalist for three years, Donziger went to Harvard Law School, where he played basketball with Barack Obama"

What else do you know about Donziger's "life long" association with Obama?

Why was the oil dumped there? That's what 99.9 percent of people want to know. It's a ton cheaper to build a container and store it.

Yes moron Texaco and the Ecuador petrol company did it decades ago, not Chevron.

Yeah, this one's a nothing burger. Dude's in jail for violating various court orders, been disbarred for the same thing.

A corporate judiciary which ignored the executive branch's decision to refrain from prosecution, denied Donziger a jury trial in a criminal case, and punished the defendant BEFORE conviction is only a "nothing burger" in the minds of latent fascists:

The Judicial Persecution of Steven Donziger

"'Steven Donziger is being persecuted by a lawyer with strong ties to the oil industry, including Chevron,' wrote Donziger’s counsel Rick Friedman. 'She was appointed after the U.S. attorney refused to prosecute…While this is a criminal case, Steven is being denied a jury.'

"'While the maximum sentence is six months, Steven has been in home confinement more than 19 months. To say that this is highly irregular would be an understatement…Here the judiciary has ignored the executive branch which is ordinarily in charge of prosecutions…

"'It has eliminated a jury, which historically has been a bulwark against judicial over-reach. It is punishing a defendant before he has been convicted.'"
