The Contractor's Son - How a 21 Year Old Stole $46 Million From The US Marshals

His dad spent years earning the government's trust. Built a small IT firm from nothing. Landed a contract to manage billions in seized crypto for the U.S. Marshals Service. Then his 21-year-old son found the keys to the vault. $46 million. Gone. This is the story of how a government contractor's son robbed the federal crypto vault and couldn't stop bragging about it. ____________________________ John Daghita, 21, was arrested on March 5, 2026, on the island of Saint Martin in a joint FBI and French Gendarmerie operation. He faces charges related to the alleged theft of more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from U.S. Marshals Service seizure wallets. He has not yet been formally charged in U.S. federal court and is presumed innocent until proven guilty. His father, Dean Daghita, president of CMDSS, has not been charged with any crime. ZachXBT is an independent blockchain investigator whose analysis initiated the investigation. His findings were reported across major outlets including CoinDesk, Bitcoin Magazine, Decrypt, TRM Labs, and BleepingComputer. If you or someone you know has been targeted by a cryptocurrency scam or investment fraud, report it to ic3.gov [http://ic3.gov] or your local law enforcement.
