FBI arrests son of government contractor for stealing $46M in crypto

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested John Daghita for allegedly stealing $46 million in cryptocurrency that had been seized and was under the management of the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), Aggr News reported. Daghita, who operated under an online alias, is the son of the president of CMDSS, a firm contracted by the USMS to manage government assets. He is accused of transferring the cryptocurrency from USMS custody to his personal wallet and then attempting to launder it. On-chain analyst ZachXBT had previously exposed Daghita's alleged activities in a post on X this past January.
