Did a billionaire pay a CIA veteran to conduct “off the books” paramilitary missions overseas, even as the former spy served as his personal “head of security?' Seemingly it was all a lie: the CIA backstory, the secret missions, and so much more.
: In 2013, Goguen allegedly wired him $400,000 as part of a plan to lead assault teams on rescue missions and other escapades. He followed up with roughly $2 million over multiple additional payments, including $750,000 in 2015 “to strike Syrian Terrorist Leaders,” according to court filings.In reality, Marshall allegedly used the money for himself and for “loans and gifts to friends and family members.
The government claimed that Marshall sent Goguen prayer beads he purportedly “removed from the body of a dead terrorist,” in an attempt to bolster his CIA backstory, which he supplemented with a fake text message supposedly from longtime CIA official Cofer Black. Those details were only the start. Prosecutors said that Marshall sent himself fake messages implying that a CIA agent “in the moviewas based on him.” And when his scheme went south, he again created phone numbers and sent himself pretend messages from neurologists at the Mayo Clinic attesting to a “life-threatening medical condition” he claimed to have contracted.
The attorney asked for a 24-month sentence per count, to be served concurrently, substantially less than the government’s recommendation of 87 months.
