I had expected this to be a story of pure fraud. Instead it was... something else entirely?

I’m curious precisely which laws Goudreau violated. Article specifically mentions arms trafficking, but that honestly seems like a far cry from the obvious conspiracies to murder/kidnap/etc. I’ve never really had to consider the question of “what American law are you violating if you are conspiring to overthrow someone else’s government on American soil?” If the US lacks an extradition treaty with the target, the target’s laws aren’t relevant in practice.
