Jordan Guy MacDonald Goudreau (born 30 July 1976) is a Canadian-American mercenary[2] who claimed responsibility for organizing the Macuto Bay incursion into Venezuelan territory on 3 May 2020.

[7] He moved to Washington, D.C. and enlisted in the United States Army a few months prior to the September 11 attacks in New York City, eventually reaching the rank of Sergeant first class in the 10th Special Forces Group.

[1] Documentation shows that Goudreau faced months of combat while deployed and suffered a concussion and back injuries during a parachuting accident in August 2014.

The Venezuelan government said security forces had foiled a "marine incursion" by "terrorist mercenaries" from neighboring Colombia in Vargas state, killing eight and capturing two.

[16][17] Goudreau and Nieto Quintero, identified as a retired Venezuelan military captain, published a video the same day claiming responsibility for the attack.

[20] The Venezuelan government claimed the United States and its Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) were responsible for the operation and had support from Colombia.

[24] On 30 July 2024, Goudreau was arrested in New York after a federal court in Tampa charged him with conspiracy, smuggling goods from the United States and unlawful possession of a machine gun, among 14 counts.

The federal indictment accused him, alongside Venezuelan citizen Yacsy Alvarez, of violating U.S. arms controls when they assembled and sent to Colombia AR-styled weapons, ammo, silencers, night vision goggles and other defence equipment requiring a U.S. export license.
