Theft With a Surname
The son of the firm that safeguarded crypto seized by the US government stole $46 million, blew $2 million on Telegram usernames, and even launched his own memecoin while on the run
John Daghita, son of the owner of contractor CMDSS — hired to safeguard and liquidate cryptocurrency seized by the US Marshals Service — moved $46 million out of his own father's company wallets over three months. With part of the loot he bought the Telegram usernames "@devil," "@skid," and "@fraud" for more than $2 million, rented a six-bedroom villa, chartered a private yacht, and hired a bodyguard and a private chef.
While the FBI tracked him under the alias "Lick," Daghita launched his own token, $LICK, on Pump.fun, which briefly topped $900,000 in market cap before crashing 97% in under a day: on-chain analytics firm Bubblemaps found the deployer himself was holding 40% of the supply. He was arrested weeks later on the island of Saint Martin with a Rolex, nearly $240,000 in cash, and several hardware wallets holding part of the loot.
