Prosecutors seek to revoke Jordan Goudreau’s release, alleging threats to his bond sponsor and hidden cryptocurrency deal tied to a 2020 Venezuela coup plot.

Federal prosecutors seek to revoke former Green Beret Jordan Goudreau’s release, alleging he threatened filmmaker Jen Gatien—his $2 million bond sponsor—after being freed on weapons smuggling charges tied to a 2020 failed coup plot against Venezuela’s government. Prosecutors claim a secret agreement involving cryptocurrency and assets was withheld, which could have led to denial of bail. Goudreau, who denies wrongdoing and claims an unhealthy relationship with Gatien, maintains his innocence and says he received tacit support from U.S. officials. The case highlights tensions over U.S. involvement in Venezuela, with evidence including AR-15 rifles bearing his DNA and military equipment linked to his security firm.
