anchored·2v1fYV…cunDSummary
Command Services and Support, Inc. (CMDSS) is a Haymarket, Virginia-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business led by president and CEO Dean Daghita that received a U.S. Marshals Service contract in October 2024 to manage and dispose of Class 2-4 seized cryptocurrency. In January 2026, blockchain investigator ZachXBT publicly alleged that Daghita's son, John Daghita (alias 'Lick'), had stolen over $46 million in digital assets from government-controlled USMS wallets by abusing insider access obtained through his father's company. John Daghita was arrested in Saint Martin on March 4, 2026, and was subsequently indicted on 15 federal counts; Dean Daghita himself had not been charged as of August 2026, though CMDSS's online presence was taken offline following the revelations and the company faces significant scrutiny over contract award process and oversight failures.
