Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the Steer Index Ltd 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.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• Steer Index Ltd casefiles end at a centralised exchange — Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, or Gate.io are common; the casefile names the actual deposit address that received the consolidated funds.
• Off-ramp wallet for Steer Index Ltd is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for Steer Index Ltd — the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the Steer Index Ltd casefile.
