So, apparently John Daghita-who goes by the totally un-suspicious nickname ‘Lick’-is linked to a $40 million crypto breach involving U.S. government funds.
Investigators have bravely identified our protagonist, John “Lick” Daghita, as the mastermind behind this audacious act. Perhaps he was just bored during the pandemic?
In a shocking twist that no one saw coming, over $40 million reportedly shuffled out of wallets tied to federal seizure addresses. How did they do it? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but I hear magic wands are involved.
Allegations Linked to Government Seizure Wallets
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT, probably a modern-day Sherlock Holmes minus the hat, has publicly fingered John Daghita as āLick.ā I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that alias?
This activity targeted those wallets holding crypto seized by U.S. authorities. You know, the ones filled with goodies from past law enforcement actions. Truly an all-you-can-eat buffet of seized assets!
The on-chain records revealed that funds were moving faster than my New Year’s resolutions. And letās not forget, it wasnāt just Bitcoin-it was like a digital asset potluck featuring several altcoins. At the time, the total value exceeded a whopping $40 million. Someone call the accountants!
In case you’re wondering how John Daghita (aka Lick) managed to pilfer over $40 million from U.S. government wallets, hereās the kicker:
Johnās dad owns CMDSS, which currently has an active IT government contract in Virginia. Talk about keeping it in the family!
CMDSS was awarded a contract to assist the U.S. Marshals in managing and disposing of…

Authorities have yet to announce any criminal charges or make arrests, proving once again that the wheels of justice turn at the speed of molasses.
Law enforcement agencies remain tight-lipped, with claims merely floating in the ether of blockchain analysis and public gossip.
CMDSS Contract With U.S. Marshals Service Draws Attention
Meet John Daghita, son of Dean Daghita, the big cheese at CMDSS, a Virginia-based IT firm with a taste for government contracts. Because who doesnāt want to do business with Uncle Sam?
CMDSS bagged a sweet deal with the U.S. Marshals Service back in October 2024, focusing on the riveting task of managing non-Bitcoin crypto assets. A thrilling job, Iām sure.
They were tasked with technical support for these digital assets that, like my old high school friends, often need active management and careful transfers. As the government expanded its crypto-seizing operations, CMDSS was there, popcorn in hand, watching it all unfold.
After claims surfaced, CMDSS hit the brakes on their website and social media accounts, but donāt worry-theyāre back! And surprise, surprise, they didnāt offer an explanation. Classic move!

Unclear Access Path and Ongoing Silence
Weāre still left scratching our heads about how John Daghita managed to slip into the crypto systems without leaving a breadcrumb trail. No evidence has popped up showing direct access through CMDSS. What a plot twist!
Authorities havenāt confirmed if insider access played a role, and the U.S. Marshals Service is giving us nothing but radio silence about those wallet movements. The suspense is killing me!
As we await answers, the incident shines a spotlight on how seized crypto is managed and stored. Federal agencies now control billions in digital assets, making them the proud owners of the worldās largest digital treasure chest.
Oversight and access controls remain under scrutiny, because letās be honest, who wouldnāt want to dive into this fascinating mess?
