Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the GMT 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.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• GMT’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 GMT off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The GMT packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for GMT, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.

How a GMT casefile becomes a regulator-ready filing:

1. Triage on GMT — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on GMT — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on GMT — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the GMT packet — IC3, state AG (where loss meets state thresholds), off-ramp compliance desk, and civil-discovery overlay where dollar value supports it.
5. Follow-through on GMT — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

• Deposit-side chains in GMT casefiles — typically the major chains (BTC, ETH) and the high-throughput stablecoin chains (Tron USDT, BSC USDT) — with bridge crossings noted.
• Off-ramps named in GMT packets — centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on GMT — IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.

Lines we never cross — by published policy:

• What the Professor will not do on GMT — ask for a seed phrase.
• What the Professor will not do on GMT — request remote-access logins.
• What the Professor will not do on GMT — demand cash up front.
• What the Professor will not do on GMT — promise a guarantee.
• What the Professor will not do on GMT — call you out of the blue.
