It's quite clear that the residents of Lago Agrio suffered and are continuing to suffer; significant environmental damage was done and was not remediated. It's less clear who should be responsible for that; the damage was caused by a joint venture between a company that no longer exists (but which is now part of Chevron) and the Ecuadorian government (although the current Ecuadorian government doesn't recognise some actions that previous governments took as legitimate). It's certainly arguable that at least some responsibility may have come to rest with Chevron, yes.
...none of which has any bearing on the question of whether Donziger bribed a judge or whatever.
