What about the international courts who came to the same conclusion? Are they all bought by chevron too? I am so fucking sick of people excusing bad behavior because they have drunk so much kool-aid they can't accept that the world is not black and white.

Talking about international bodies, we should also consider the opinion of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Dention, which is that "Noting all the above, the Working Group concludes that the detention of Mr. Donziger
lacks legal basis and is therefore arbitrary, falling within category I of the arbitrary detention
categories referred to by the Working Group when considering cases submitted to it. ". See here [1] for the detailed opinion.
The amount of conflicting information on the Donziger case is quite staggering but maybe quite natural given that there is so much money at stake.
EDIT: updated to quote from and link to original working group document.

Sorry for the delay. I wanted to actually study the case more thoroughly. Here is the actual evidence and option from the 2014 RICO case against Donziger.

If you actually are interested in understanding the situation I would encourage you to take a deep breath clear your mind of preconceptions and read it. In the real world every situation is not Black and White; Good vs. Evil, sometimes everyone involved in a situation is a scumbag.
