Summary

Hide ▲

The U.S. Marshals Service suffered an alleged cryptocurrency theft that put more than $46 million in seized assets at risk and exposed a major compromise of government-controlled funds. The theft was linked to abused access at CMDSS, the contractor managing seized digital assets for the agency. The case later drew blockchain tracing and law-enforcement scrutiny, tying the loss to wallet movements and a suspect now under arrest.
