MIAMI — It was mid-January and Jordan Goudreau was itching to get going
on a secret plan to raid Venezuela and arrest President Nicolás Maduro
when the former special forces commando flew to the city of Barranquilla
in Colombia to meet with his would-be partner in arms.
To get there, Goudreau and two former Green Beret buddies relied on some
unusual help: a chartered flight out of Miami's Opa Locka executive
airport on a plane owned by a Venezuelan businessman so close to the
government of the late Hugo Chávez that he spent almost four years in a
U.S. prison for trying to cover up clandestine cash payments to its allies.
