John Daghita, son of Dean Daghita, president of CMDSS, is accused of taking more than $40 million in cryptocurrency from wallets tied to government seizures. The US Marshals Service confirmed “the matter is under investigation” after the claims appeared on social media and investigative channels.
Investigative account ZachXBT posted that he traced a wallet linked to Daghita holding about $23 million, connected to as much as $90 million in assets believed seized by authorities (posted by ZachXBT).
He later said he reported to authorities another wallet holding 12,540 Ether (about $36 million) tied to Daghita (reported here).
“John […] sent me 0.6767 ETH ($1.9K) of the stolen government funds from 0xd8bc to my public wallet address,” ZachXBT wrote, and added that “Any stolen funds received will be sent to a USG seizure address.” (Ed. note: the alleged transfers relate to seizures from 2024 and 2025.)
The son’s father leads CMDSS, which received a 2024 contract tied to custody of seized digital assets.
White House Crypto Council director Patrick Witt wrote he was “on it” in a social post (view post).
Data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET indicates US authorities may hold as many as 328,372 Bitcoin, worth roughly $30 billion (data shows).
