A court in Basse-Terre is set to rule by May 28 after reviewing an extradition request tied to accusations that he stole cryptocurrency from the U.S. federal government.
John Daghita appeared before the Basse-Terre Court of Appeal for an extradition review in a case involving allegations that $46 million in cryptocurrency was stolen from the U.S. federal government. The court reserved its decision until May 28, and a bail request is planned for next week. The case centers on alleged theft of digital assets, which are cryptographically secured blockchain-based tokens that can be transferred across wallets and jurisdictions, often making cross-border enforcement and recovery legally complex.
