🚨💥 Did Someone Steal $40M+ in U.S. Government–Seized Crypto?! 💥🚨
This story is insane — and it’s exposing a massive weak spot in how seized crypto is handled 👇
🕵️♂️ Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has accused John “Lick” Daghita of stealing over $40 MILLION in cryptocurrency seized by U.S. law enforcement.
😳 Plot twist?
👨👦 John is the son of the president of CMDSS, a company with active U.S. government IT contracts related to crypto custody.
🔍 What’s being alleged?
💰 Wallets holding U.S. government–seized crypto were allegedly drained
🔥 One traced wallet held 12,540 ETH (~$36M)
🧵 Funds allegedly link back to $90M+ in government seizures (2024–2025)
📱 ZachXBT says John openly flexed the funds in leaked Telegram videos
“Meet the threat actor John (Lick), flexing $23M tied to $90M+ in suspected thefts from the U.S. government.”
🧨 Why is this explosive?
🏛️ The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) manages seized assets
🖥️ CMDSS was awarded a contract to help USMS manage and dispose of seized crypto
🤐 USMS says it can’t comment due to an active investigation
💣 The uncomfortable question:
👉 Who really controls seized government crypto — and where are the controls?
🎥 What’s the smoking gun?
📹 A leaked Telegram “band for band” video
🖥️ John allegedly screen-shares an Exodus wallet
💸 Millions in ETH move live during the argument
🧠 ZachXBT traces the funds back to government seizure wallets
🚨 Flexing allegedly stolen government funds on video might be the worst OPSEC ever.
⚠️ What’s the bigger issue?
🏗️ Weak crypto custody governance
👥 Family proximity to critical infrastructure
📉 No real-time, cryptographically provable oversight
🇺🇸 If true, this isn’t just theft — it’s a national crypto-custody failure.
👀 Investigation ongoing🔥
❓Should governments ever outsource seized-crypto custody without on-chain, provable controls?
