Why?
[edit]
Why is this here? Are we going to start creating wiki pages for every person who's name gets mentioned in a news story? The site will be flooded with hundreds of thousands of basically useless or unhelpful articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElaiosAdonaios (talk • contribs)

Some more info to add to the article
[edit]I don't have the time to add info to the article, but here is some info and sources. There are probably many more sources for this info below.
He did some security for Trump rallies. And he met with representatives of Venezuelan opposition figure Juan Guaidó in May 2019. See article.
More and more info is coming out making him more and more notable. He was on the radar of the DEA since March, weeks before the coup attempt. Officials in Congress are now also expressing concern over possible links Goodreau might have had to the federal government. See article. --Timeshifter (talk) 00:04, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
