Matthew Marshall<\/p><\/div>\n

So this story has several twists and turns and we are not sure of the true villain.\u00a0 We’ll lay it out and you decide.<\/p>\n

It seems that Matthew Marshall, 51 (pictured above), successfully scammed billionaire venture capitalist Michael Goguen, 57 (pictured below) out of $2 million dollars by having Goguen believe that Marshall was a spy.\u00a0 Goguen funded fictitious ‘off the books’ private paramilitary missions which included rescue operations.<\/p>\n

Fake spy ‘conned a billionaire venture capitalist out of $2M for ‘off the books’ paramilitary missions overseas’: Ex-Marine is accused of posing as a former CIA agent who had a Hollywood film based on his life<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Marshall old told Goguen he served in ‘Force Reconnaissance,’ a made up unit of the Marines. To further convince Goguen, he even got a tattoo of a logo. He went as far as to claim the Hollywood movie “Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado” was based on him.<\/p>\n

The conman only served in the Marine reserves, accrued 82 absences and was given an ‘other than honorable’ discharge.<\/p>\n

As he started getting found out, Marshall created fake phone numbers to send himself texts from doctors at the Mayo Clinic. The scam: he had contracted a ‘life-threatening medical condition.’<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Later…<\/p>\n

Marshall also produced phony text messages from ex-CIA director Cofer Black to verify his identity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Goguen’s lifestyle has been under some scrutiny due to alleged sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n

The ‘Boom Boom’ Room<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The legal filing alleges that Goguen, who is currently married to his fourth wife, allegedly kept a ‘harem’ of ‘numerous women, including married women, strippers, and prostitutes,’ who he bought homes for and used for ‘illicit sexual activity.’<\/p>\n

Marshall,\u00a0the former head of Amyntor who quickly grew to become Goguen’s ‘right-hand man,’ pled guilty to wire fraud and other charges earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The explosive lawsuit claims the investor met with the women at various safe houses or at a ‘boom boom’ room in the basement of his bar in Whitefish, a small town in\u00a0Montana\u00a0where he now lives.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Reading about all of this – Marshall’s story sounds a bit like Frank Dux<\/a> with the ex-CIA angle, being a Marine Reservist, and having a movie made about him.\u00a0 Then, Goguen’s story was compared to Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein according to a retired Whitefish police chief.<\/p>\n

If pitched to Hollywood, it could be a “Frank Dux meets Jeffrey Epstein” slant to the story.<\/p>\n

Anybody else heard of a ‘Boom Boom’ Room?\u00a0 Is that like a VIP area or is it seedier?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
