To sustain a two-decade legal and publicity campaign against Chevron over oil pollution in Ecuador, plaintiffs' attorney Steven Donziger has relied on all manner of creative financing. He has sold slices of the case to individual investors and to hedge funds. Now one of those investors, an American transplant in Gibraltar who made a fortune in the online gambling business, may be sorry he ever heard about the Amazonian contamination case. On March 14, a judge in Gibraltar, a tiny British territory on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, ruled that Chevron can proceed with a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Russell DeLeon in connection with his financing what the oil company maintains was a liability suit that evolved into a racketeering conspiracy. If DeLeon is ultimately held liable for significant damages, his fate could inhibit other investors from backing advocacy-oriented documentaries expressing anti-corporate views.
