The US Marshals have launched an investigation into John Daghita, accusing him of embezzling over $40 million while managing seized cryptocurrency assets

BlockBeats News, January 27th, the U.S. Marshals Service is currently investigating a case of approximately $40 million in seized crypto assets related to a theft. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT alleges that John "Lick" Daghita, the son of the CEO of Defense and Justice Department service provider CMDSS, is suspected of transferring assets from a government-controlled crypto wallet managed by his father's company.

ZachXBT stated that he has confirmed at least around $23 million in funds traced back to around $90 million in crypto assets seized by the government in 2024 and 2025, and has submitted a report to law enforcement last week. The relevant clues originated from the suspect inadvertently exposing their controlled wallet address in a Telegram group chat video bragging about their wealth, followed by confirming fund linkage through on-chain analysis. Brady McCarron, Public Affairs Officer of the U.S. Marshals Service, responded that due to the ongoing investigation, he could not comment further at this time.
