The U.S. Marshals Service is facing scrutiny after a federal cryptocurrency wallet it managed was hacked in 2024, resulting in the theft of approximately $24.9 million. Security researcher ZachXBT identified John Daghita as the suspect, who allegedly revealed control over the stolen funds on Telegram. John Daghita is reportedly the son of Dean Daghita, CEO of CMDSS, a company awarded a $4 million contract by the Marshals Service in 2024 to assist in selling the U.S. Bitcoin reserve's cryptocurrency. The Marshals Service is currently investigating the incident but has not commented on whether it will continue its partnership with CMDSS. The contract with CMDSS had previously been questioned by competitors due to the company's lack of SEC qualifications and potential conflicts of interest, though the Government Accountability Office had deemed the contract proper.
