Our ongoing coverage of the Chevron Shakedown has taken us down a long and twisting road over these past few years. The prime mover in the United States behind the attempted, fraudulent theft of billions of dollars from the energy giant was New York attorney Steven Donziger.

About 15 years ago or so my wife and I were touring wineries in the Temecula, Cal area. There was a lawyer who was threatening to sue each winery for damages associated with the lead foil around the top of the bottle. For something like $5000 he would agree to drop the suit. Since the wineries would have to spend more than that to defend against the suit—whether or not they even used lead foil, most agreed to settle with him. Only companies big enough to have good lawyers on retainer (like Chevron or Apple) are willing and able to resist this legalized blackmail.
