Judge orders Greenpeace to pay $345m over Dakota Access pipeline protest
Group says case far from over after being found liable for defamation and other claims brought by energy firm
Greenpeace lost a suit by Energy Transfer( I own this stock) 345 million which bankrupt them. The original verdict was 600 million but was reduced on appeal. ET is suing fir the whole 600million.
Last year, a nine-person jury found Netherlands-based Greenpeace International, Greenpeace USA and funding arm Greenpeace Fund Inc liable for defamation and other claims brought by Dallas-based Energy Transfer and subsidiary Dakota Access.
The jury found Greenpeace USA liable on all counts, including conspiracy, trespass, nuisance and tortious interference. The other two entities were found liable for some of the claims.
The lawsuit stems from the pipeline protests in 2016 and 2017, when thousands of people demonstrated and camped near the project’s Missouri River crossing upstream of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation. The tribe has long opposed the pipeline as a threat to its water supply.
Lets hope it puts these eco terrorists out of business
