Chevron Ecuador fraud: Steven Donziger is an “Adjudicated Racketteer” Wall Street Journal

Steven Donziger speaks with reporters outside the federal courthouse on April 20, 2015.

Letting Ecuador save money on flowers after blatant “acts of defiance” would tell the world the U.S. rewards bad behavior, the oil company said.
