Day Two of the Chevron v. Donziger trial centered on the testimony of Chevron Corporation witness Christopher Bogart, founder and CEO of the prominent U.S.–based litigation financier Burford Capital. Bogart, a onetime funder of the Ecuadorian environmental case that culminated in a $19 billion judgment against Chevron in 2011, formally shifted alliances in April. He now claims he was duped by the Ecuadorian plaintiffs and their U.S. lawyer, Steven Donziger, into investing in a fraudulent shakedown of the oil giant.
