U.S. Marshals are investigating John Daghita, son of the president of CMDSS, over alleged theft of $40 million in seized cryptocurrency assets. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT claims that Daghita transferred funds from government wallets managed by his father's company. At least $23 million has been traced to $90 million in real-world assets (RWA), according to news reports tied to government cryptocurrency regulation. Evidence was submitted last week after a lead emerged from a Telegram group chat in which the suspect revealed wallet addresses. Brady McCarron of the U.S. Marshals declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation.

BlockBeats news: On January 27, the U.S. Marshals Service is investigating a stolen seized cryptocurrency asset case involving approximately $40 million. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT accused John "Lick" Daghita, the son of the president of CMDSS, a service provider for the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Justice, of transferring the assets from a government cryptocurrency wallet managed by his father's company.


ZachXBT stated that it has confirmed at least $23 million in funds traceable to government-seized cryptocurrency assets worth approximately $90 million during 2024 and 2025, and has submitted a report to law enforcement agencies last week. The lead originated from a video in which an involved individual showcased wealth in a Telegram group chat, inadvertently revealing a wallet address under their control. Subsequent on-chain analysis confirmed the connection of the funds. Brady McCarron, Director of Public Affairs at the U.S. Marshals Service, responded that due to the ongoing investigation, no further comments could be provided at this time.
