apparently the child of a contractor hired by the U.S. government to manage crypto seized from criminals managed to steal $40-100 million dollars from the government and no one even noticed.

until, that is, the lure of flexing on the internet proved too much for him (full name John Daghita AKA “Lick”) and he posted a screenshot showing off his money that revealed his crypto address, which #ZachXBT was able to link to the stolen funds.

just incredible stuff.

In case you are curious how John Daghita (Lick) was able to steal $40M+ from US government seizure addresses.

John’s dad owns CMDSS, which currently has an active IT government contract in Virginia.

CMMDS was awarded a contract to assist the USMS in managing/disposing of seized/forfeited crypto assets.

It still remains unclear at this point how John obtained access from his dad. — In case you are curious how John Daghita (Lick) was able to steal $40M+ from US government seizure addresses.

Interview: The feds plan to spend $100 million over one year in “wartime recruitment” for ICE.

The drive targets "UFC fans, gun-rights supporters, military enthusiasts", etc. & "repeatedly echoes white nationalist slogans."

ICE “Wartime” Recruiting Effort Targets Gun & Military Lovers Using White Nationalist Messaging

As outrage grows across the country over the Trump administration’s deadly immigration crackdown in Minnesota, we speak with reporter Drew Harwell, who recently reported on the government’s effort to hire thousands more ICE agents. According to an internal strategy document uncovered by The Washington Post, the federal government plans to spend $100 million over a one-year period in a “wartime recruitment” push, including online targeting of UFC fans, gun-rights supporters, military enthusiasts and more. Meanwhile, the administration’s online messaging has repeatedly echoed white nationalist slogans. “They’re spending a lot of money on it, so you’re just seeing it everywhere on social media now. And the question is: Who are they trying to attract?” says Harwell.

You can bring a gun to a protest. Of course you can. You can vigorously exercise your Second Amendment Rights and your First Amendment rights at the same time.

The resignation of the agent, Tracee Mergen, was only the latest shock wave to have emerged from the #DOJ’s handling of the shooting of #ReneeGood.

The agent, Tracee Mergen, left her job as a supervisor in the FBI’s #Minneapolis field office after #FBI leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a #CivilRights inquiry into the #immigration officer, #JonathanRoss…. Such inquiries are a common investigative step in similar shootings.
Mergen’s resignation was only the latest shock wave to have emerged from the #DOJ’s handling of the #shooting of #ReneeGood, an unarmed mother who was killed on Jan 7…

After the incident, several #Trump admin officials described #ReneeGood as a “domestic terrorist,” falsely accusing her of trying to ram #JonathanRoss with her vehicle. But a video analysis by NYT showed no indication that he had been run over.

Senior #DOJ officials have repeatedly said there are no plans to follow the path normally taken in such situations & pursue an investigation into whether Ross, who fired multiple shots at Good, had used #ExcessiveForce.
