FBI Arrests Custody Company CEO’s Son over Alleged $46M Crypto Theft
Summary
The FBI announced the arrest of John Daghita, the son of Command Services & Support (CMDSS) president Dean Daghita, in connection with the theft of over $46 million in cryptocurrency from the US Marshals Service. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the arrest, which took place on the island of Saint Martin with assistance from the French Gendarmerie’s elite tactical unit. Photos shared by Patel showed Daghita handcuffed, along with seized items including cash, thumb drives, a phone, and devices resembling hardware wallets. The alleged theft was initially reported in January by online sleuth ZachXBT, who traced a wallet linked to Daghita holding approximately $23 million connected to assets seized by the US government. The US Marshals Service had confirmed an investigation into the matter, though it remains unclear if any of the stolen funds have been recovered.
