Thanks–I appreciate your thoughts. I’ll keep an eye out for the GQ article.

I have been following the various course battles in the U.S. regarding the Ecuador case, but as an economist and a legal layperson, I don’t have any expert insight to add.
Be on the lookout thought for an upcoming article in GQ magazine (yes, GQ), by Sean Flynn.

Thank you for commenting! I apologize for the misspelling–I’ve corrected it.

I’m curious about the quote from your report. Was there something inaccurate about the post that caused you to include the quote in your comment?

Also, I’m curious about your reaction to the hullabaloo surrounding the Chevron/Ecuador case. Leaving aside the Lago Agrio lawsuit itself, are you aware, in a general sense, of the battles going on in various US courts and in arbitration between Chevron on the one hand and the Lago Agrio plaintiffs and the government of Ecuador on the other, and if so, do you have a reaction that you’d be willing to share?

Shefftz, not Sheffitz.
Also, the third sentence of the Shefftz report states:
“Starting with the Cabrera report’s engineering figures and cost estimates, I have performed my own financial analysis to arrive at an unjust enrichment estimate range of between approximately $4.57 and $9.46 billion, reflecting present values as of 2010.”
