[U.S. Marshals Service Investigates Government Contractor's Son for Allegedly Stealing $40 Million in Seized Cryptocurrency]
According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Marshals Service is investigating a case involving the theft of over $40 million in seized cryptocurrency. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has accused John “Lick” Daghita, the son of the president of CMDSS, a service provider for the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice, of stealing these assets from government-managed crypto wallets overseen by his father’s company. ZachXBT stated that he has identified at least $23 million in funds linked to approximately $90 million in cryptocurrency seized by the government in 2024 and 2025, and he reported the matter to authorities last week. The suspect inadvertently exposed the wallet address he controlled by recording videos to flaunt his wealth in a Telegram group chat. ZachXBT confirmed the connection of the funds through on-chain tracking.
Brady McCarron, the U.S. Marshals Service’s Chief of Public Affairs, stated that no further comment could be made as the investigation is ongoing. Previous reports have suggested that the U.S. Marshals Service may not have a complete understanding of the specific amount of cryptocurrency under its control. This incident has once again raised concerns about the transparency of government-held cryptocurrency oversight.
