John Daghita, son of a U.S. government contractor and president of Command Services & Support (CMDSS), was arrested on Saint Martin for allegedly stealing $46 million in cryptocurrency from the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS). The arrest followed a joint operation by the FBI and France's Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale. Daghita, known online as "Lick," was linked to the theft through blockchain analysis by investigator ZachXBT, who traced funds to wallets associated with Daghita. The stolen funds included assets tied to the 2016 Bitfinex hack. Daghita was reportedly taunting ZachXBT via Telegram, even sending small amounts of stolen funds to the investigator's public wallet address in a "dust attack." Law enforcement seized multiple hard drives, security keys, and an undisclosed amount of U.S. dollars during the arrest.
