Suspect John Daghita, involved in the theft of $40 million in cryptocurrency related to the U.S. government, has been arrested by the FBI

Suspect John Daghita in the $40 million cryptocurrency theft case involving the U.S. government has been arrested by the FBI.

On-chain detective ZachXBT previously revealed that John Daghita is the son of the CEO of CMDSS, a company that had contracts with the U.S. government to handle seized cryptocurrency.

According to ZachXBT, he exposed in January 2026 that John used his father's company CMDSS (which holds the USMS contract) to access and transfer relevant assets from wallets managed by the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS). Subsequently, John mocked ZachXBT multiple times on a Telegram channel and initiated a "dust attack" by publicly sending part of the involved funds to his wallet address.
