By ANTHONY FAIOLA AND ANA VANESSA HERRERO | The Washington Post | Published: January 2, 2021 MIAMI Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó had the recognition of the United States and the support of millions in the streets. But with Nicolás Maduro still occupying the presidential palace and commanding Venezuela s security forces, Guaidó s so-called interim government needed cash to project power abroad and undermine the president at home. Now two Miami entrepreneurs were offering a plan to get it. Jorge Reyes and Pedro Antar said they had identified up to $40 billion in Venezuelan government assets across the Caribbean. The holdings, including shares in companies, luxury cars, lavish homes and uncollected debts, were linked to Venezuela s state-controlled oil company.
