Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 6th, reports that the U.S. Marshals Service is under intense scrutiny after its managed federal cryptocurrency wallets were hacked in 2024, resulting in the theft of approximately $24.9 million. According to security researcher ZachXBT, suspect John Daghita inadvertently revealed on Telegram that he controls the stolen funds. More notably, John is suspected to be the son of Dean Daghita, CEO of CMDSS, a company that in 2024 secured a $4 million contract with the Marshals Service to assist in the sale of U.S. Bitcoin reserves.

The Marshals Service stated that they are investigating the matter but have not responded regarding whether they will continue to work with CMDSS. Previously, CMDSS faced criticism from competitors when awarded the contract, who claimed the company lacked SEC credentials and had potential conflicts of interest. However, the Office of Government Accountability ruled that the contract was appropriate.
