Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Claimant-to-platform deposit transactions on the deposit chain used by CMC Central.
• Operator-controlled forwarding wallets where deposits consolidate ahead of laundering or off-ramping.
• Cross-chain bridge events to chains with deeper exchange liquidity.
• Privacy-service interactions, where present in the trail.
• Off-ramp wallet — the named centralised-exchange endpoint.

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

• CMC Central’s off-ramp endpoint, in this casefile, is the centralised exchange that holds compliance leverage — typically named in the packet alongside the deposit address.
• Chain-analytics datasets cross-reference the CMC Central off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The CMC Central packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for CMC Central, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.

Pathway to recovery — what happens after the trail is mapped:

1. Submission triage — CMC Central casefile reviewed against the no-go list, written reply within one business day.
2. Pathway trace — CMC Central deposit and forwarding wallets captured.
3. Endpoint identification — CMC Central off-ramp wallet named.
4. Filing — CMC Central packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery as needed.
5. Ongoing follow — CMC Central stays on file until a documented next step is reached.
