Even weirder how corporations are able to persecute US citizens for holding them legally accountable in other parts of the world.

TLDR: a judge in the pocket of Chevron let their lawyers keep the lawyer who won a judgement against Chevron keep him in house arrest. The who case is a misuse of the criminal justice system.

I can't find much information about the Hague decision. The Reuters article is basically a blurb, and the WSJ is paywalled. To summarize Wikipedia, Guerro - the judge which Chevron immigrated to the US - seems to have exaggerated his testimony; he later walks back much of everything involving Donziger (ghostwriting and bribes). I was hoping that the references to the Hague's decision would have more information.
