Defendants in organized crime case say wealthy businessman pursuing them had a secret weapon: The DA
After the indictment, they entered into negotiations in 2017 with J. J. Rendón, a political consultant and activist from Venezuela, who had been granted political asylum in the United States and had plans to build a Disneyland-style virtual reality complex in Florida, where he lived, and distribute their products throughout Latin America.
Rendón falsely claimed to have ties to the actor Mark Wahlberg and also falsely claimed to have access to $3 million in cash to expand Davenport’s and Smith’s virtual reality cabinet business, the defense later asserted during one hearing.
“Guess what? He didn’t have it,” defense lawyer Michael Melito said during that hearing. “His own people have testified that he didn’t have it.”
Rendón would go on to become one of the architects of a failed 2020 coup aimed at overthrowing the Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro.
