Chevron $27 Billion Claim in Ecuador

Chevron faces a potential crisis from a $27 billion claim in a lawsuit in Ecuador, where indigenous people blame Texaco for polluting the areas where they live and damaging their health.
A ruling in the 16-year-old case had been due in the coming months, but that is now complicated by the judge's replacement amid allegations he was involved in a $3 million bribery plot.

Chevron has said many times it won't pay for the damage in Ecuador no matter what the court says. Chevron seems to think it's above the law. It picks and chooses the laws it will obey and the ones it won’t. That’s the real Chevron Way!
