I have it on good authority that Gregory Keough made regular visits to Chile in 1973. At the time, he was simply "representative of a fresh produce import/export company". Good luck trying to find more details on that company, all the records from the chamber of commerce have somehow been "misplaced". But let me tell you, I don't think his contact there was in the business of selling bananas.

But by the 80's he was officially employed by the American embassy in Managua as an interpreter.

Off the record, he was the on-site liaison for Brigade 2506, a leftover anti-Castro Cuban cell that was involved with the Bay of Pigs debacle. Long story short, Keough was in charge of making sure the Cubans got the shipments from the Colombians and re-routed them to Miami for distribution, so they could supply the Nicaraguans... His operation exceeded all expectations. They were generating so much cashflow, they didn't even know how to dispose of it. Keough was assigned a bunch of failed revolutionaries and successfully refurbished them into very, very lucrative snow smugglers... The 80's, man... This is why I fell in love America and capitalism.
