ChainCatcher reports that John Daghita, the suspect in the $40 million cryptocurrency theft involving the U.S. government, has been arrested by the FBI.

“On-Chain Detective” ZachXBT previously revealed that John Daghita is the son of the CEO of CMDSS, a company that had secured a contract with the U.S. government to handle seized cryptocurrencies.

According to ZachXBT, in January 2026, John exploited his access to his father’s company CMDSS (which holds a USMS contract) to transfer assets from wallets managed by the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS). Subsequently, John repeatedly mocked ZachXBT on Telegram and launched a “dust attack” on his public wallet address, transferring some of the involved funds.
