Daghita was arrested on Saint Martin in March 2026 following a joint FBI and French Gendarmerie operation triggered in part by blockchain investigator ZachXBT's public exposure of his wallet activity during a Telegram 'band-for-band' exchange. As of May 2026, a French appellate court approved extradition and Daghita consented to transfer to the United States to face federal charges.","sections":[{"content":"John Daghita is the son of Dean Daghita, president and chief executive of Command Services & Support (CMDSS), a Virginia-based firm that advertises information technology and operational support services for U.S. government agencies including the Department of Justice and Department of Defense. In October 2024, CMDSS was awarded a contract valued at approximately $4 million by the U.S. Marshals Service to assist with the custody and disposition of certain categories of seized and forfeited cryptocurrency, including digital assets not supported by major exchanges and holdings tied to complex criminal cases. Among the assets managed under this contract were funds seized in connection with the 2016 Bitfinex hack, one of the largest cryptocurrency thefts in history. This contract gave CMDSS personnel privileged access to USMS-controlled cryptocurrency wallets. John Daghita allegedly served in a role described as 'Cryptocurrency Subject Matter Expert' under this arrangement. CMDSS's website went private and its social media accounts were deactivated after the allegations became public. The Government Accountability Office previously reviewed competitor complaints about the CMDSS contract award and concluded it was not improper.","heading":"Background and Government Contractor Connection","sources":[{"url":"https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/03/05/son-of-u-s-government-contractor-accused-of-stealing-millions-in-seized-crypto-arrested-in-france","name":"CoinDesk: Son of contractor managing seized crypto for U.S. Marshals arrested in France","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://fortune.com/2026/02/06/us-marshals-service-scrutiny-insider-allegedly-stole-25-million-federal-crypto-wallets/","name":"Fortune: U.S. Marshals Service under scrutiny after insider allegedly stole $25 million","type":"news_article","credibility":1},{"url":"https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/john-daghita-aka-john-lick-arrested-in-alleged-cryptocurrency-theft-tied-to-us-marshals-service","name":"TRM Labs: John Daghita aka John/Lick Arrested","type":"research","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"Federal prosecutors allege that John Daghita misappropriated approximately $46 million in government-controlled digital assets, routing them into wallets under his personal control.

Reporting from the Anderson Insights analysis of the DOJ indictment describes an initial unauthorized transfer of roughly $5 million in December 2025, followed by approximately $41 million in additional transfers in January 2026. A separate accumulation wallet (0xd8bc) received inflows totaling over $63 million during Q4 2025, sourced from addresses associated with alleged victims and government seizure wallets.

During the exchange, the user screen-shared an Exodus wallet displaying a TRON address holding approximately $2.3 million. An additional $6.7 million in Ether was transferred live into an Ethereum address (0xd8bc), and by the end of the session, approximately $23 million had been consolidated into that wallet. On-chain investigator ZachXBT observed the exchange and traced the transaction history backward through the blockchain, identifying flows originating from a U.S. government-controlled wallet that had received funds seized in connection with the 2016 Bitfinex hack recovery. ZachXBT publicly disclosed his findings shortly thereafter, alleging the user 'Lick' was John Daghita, son of the CMDSS executive. ZachXBT's report also traced a connected address (0x8924) and identified wallet (0xc7a2) as having received $24.9 million from the government seizure address in March 2024.
