Steven Danziger has spent more than two decades battling oil giant over pollution in the Ecuadorian rainforest.
United States District Judge Loretta Preska sentenced Donziger on Friday after finding him guilty in May of “willfully” defying court orders, including by refusing to turn over his computer and other electronic devices.
The charges stem from a lawsuit brought against Donziger by the oil giant.
“It seems that only the proverbial two-by-four between the eyes will instill in him any respect for the law,” Preska said
