Donny Rico's series, including Episode 4 "T'anks Judge," highlights Chevron's attempts to evade accountability for massive Amazon pollution. Facing a major loss in Ecuador, Chevron sought favorable courts, finding U.S. Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan. Kaplan initiated a RICO case, assigned it to his courtroom, and ruled for Chevron, despite his decision being legally and factually flawed, lacking jurisdiction, and demonstrating clear bias.
