In August 2017, Energy Transfer Partners, the operators of the Dakota Access Pipeline, filed a lawsuit against Greenpeace, Inc., Greenpeace Fund, Inc., Greenpeace International, BankTrack, the movement Earth First!, and individual defendants accusing them of unlawful and fraudulent speech intended to harm the company and cause it to lose investments in its pipeline. With treble damages available under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), the company sought close to $1 billion in damages. In 2019, a federal court dismissed the federal claims against the defendants, but declined to rule on the state claims.
