John Daghita, known as Lick, was apprehended in the Caribbean following an investigation into his alleged theft of over $46 million in cryptocurrency assets from the U.S. government. Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT posted on X, detailing how Daghita exploited his access at CMDSS, a company owned by his father that held a contract with the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS). The investigation, which began in late January 2026, revealed that Daghita had misused his position to siphon off seized crypto assets. Despite the serious nature of the allegations, Daghita reportedly mocked ZachXBT multiple times through his Telegram channel and conducted dust attacks on ZachXBT's public wallet address using the stolen funds. The arrest marks a significant development in the case, highlighting the ongoing efforts to combat crypto-related crimes.#Caribbean #CryptoTheft #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain #ZachXBT #USMS #CryptoCrime #Arrest #CryptoAssets #DustAttacks #CMDSS #JohnDaghita
