Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the AuroraEx platform receiving address.
• Forwarding wallets the platform consolidated through — typically two to four hops on the deposit chain (BTC / ETH / USDT-TRC20 / BSC / Polygon / Arbitrum / Optimism / Avalanche).
• Bridge crossings between chains, where the operator moves value into a chain with deeper liquidity ahead of the off-ramp.
• Mixer interactions — Tornado-Cash variants, Sinbad, and the smaller obfuscation services that operators rotate through under regulatory pressure.
• Final off-ramp wallet — the centralised exchange deposit address that received the consolidated funds.

Off-ramp map — where the funds left the chain:

• Off-ramp endpoint for AuroraEx resolves to a named centralised counterparty — the venue varies casefile to casefile, but the resolution always names a real exchange wallet.
• AuroraEx’s off-ramp address is matched against the Professor’s compliance feed and against external chain-analytics datasets.
• The compliance packet for AuroraEx is structured the way an off-ramp compliance reviewer expects to receive evidence — header, hashes, narrative, ask.
• If the AuroraEx off-ramp counterparty does not respond inside the published window, escalation routes through IC3, state AG, and civil discovery.

How a AuroraEx casefile becomes a regulator-ready filing:

1. Casefile triage on AuroraEx — the submission is read; a written assessment is delivered.
2. Forensic trace on AuroraEx — every hop in the deposit pathway is captured and hashed.
3. Off-ramp identification — the AuroraEx endpoint is named.
4. Recovery filing on AuroraEx — packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil discovery as applicable.
5. Continuing review of AuroraEx — the Professor follows the casefile until next-step documentation exists.

What the on-chain reading covers:

• Deposit + forwarding chains for AuroraEx — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron USDT-TRC20, plus the smart-contract chains (BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism) that cross via bridges.
• Off-ramps the AuroraEx casefile may resolve to — centralised exchanges that respond to compliance filings.
• Filing pathways on AuroraEx — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay.

What the Professor will never do — by policy:

• On the AuroraEx casefile — never request a seed phrase. Ever.
• On the AuroraEx casefile — never request remote-access logins to a wallet or exchange.
• On the AuroraEx casefile — never demand an upfront cash retainer to scope the matter.
• On the AuroraEx casefile — never promise a guaranteed recovery. The trail does not promise one.
• On the AuroraEx casefile — never call the claimant unsolicited. Written-only.
