SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 1 – Amid disputes about the Venezuelan election, on July 31 DOJ announced that "Jordan Guy MacDonald Goudreau, 48, of Melbourne, Florida, and Yacsy Alexandra Alvarez, 43, of Tampa, Florida, were arrested yesterday pursuant to a now-unsealed indictment charging them with conspiracy to violate export laws, smuggling goods from the United States, violating the Arms Export Control Act, and violating the Export Control Reform Act. The indictment also charges Goudreau with violating the National Firearms Act and unlawful possession of machineguns."

   Goudreau was arrested in New York, where in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York which Inner City Press closely covers Magistrate Judge Gary Stein ordered him released on $2 million bond - but stayed his order to permit the Middle District of Florida to appeal. 

 They did, but not to the SDNY Part 1 Judge. Instead, they cited a local rule to automatically stay release for two weeks. So Goudreau stays in MDC Brooklyn?

The SDNY case is US v. Goudreau, 24-mj-2753 (Stein)
