For those who didn’t know, John Lick (@star, @lick) made over $1,900,000 trading on Polymarket using stolen government funds.

John Daghita, known online as "Lick," is an individual currently under investigation for allegedly stealing over $40 million in cryptocurrency from wallets controlled by the U.S. government. The allegations, brought to light by blockchain investigator ZachXBT, suggest that Daghita exploited a connection to a federal contractor to gain unauthorized access to seized digital assets. Key Allegations and Background The Connection: John is the son of Dean Daghita, the CEO of Command Services & Support (CMDSS). CMDSS was awarded a contract by the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) in October 2024 to manage and dispose of seized cryptocurrency. The Exposure: Daghita was allegedly identified after "flexing" his wealth during a dispute in a Telegram group. In a screen-shared recording, he moved millions of dollars in crypto, which ZachXBT then traced directly to government-seized addresses, including funds from the 2016 Bitfinex hack. Token Launch: Following the public exposure of these allegations, Daghita launched a meme coin called $LICK on the Pump.fun platform. Reports indicate he controls approximately 40% of the token's supply, leading to warnings of a potential rug pull. Official Status: The U.S. Marshals Service has confirmed they are investigating the claims, though as of late January 2026, no formal criminal charges have been announced.
