Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for FOREX.
• Forwarding wallets on the deposit chain — each hop documented with the forwarding tx hash and the consolidating wallet.
• Bridge events into chains where the operator can off-ramp at scale.
• Mixer or privacy-service interactions, where present, listed with the contract address and the deposit/withdraw side.
• Off-ramp endpoint — the centralised exchange deposit address holding the compliance lever.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for FOREX:

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

How a FOREX casefile becomes a regulator-ready filing:

1. Triage on FOREX — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on FOREX — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on FOREX — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the FOREX 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 FOREX — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

What the Professor tracks across FOREX casefiles:

• Chains the FOREX casefile may touch — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side, Tron USDT-TRC20 in stablecoin pathways, BNB Smart Chain and the L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base) where bridges link them.
• Off-ramps relevant to FOREX — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the FOREX packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.

Lines the Professor will not cross:

• Recovery scammers do these things on FOREX; the Professor never does — request seed phrases.
• Recovery scammers do these things on FOREX; the Professor never does — request remote logins.
• Recovery scammers do these things on FOREX; the Professor never does — demand upfront cash.
• Recovery scammers do these things on FOREX; the Professor never does — guarantee a recovery.
• Recovery scammers do these things on FOREX; the Professor never does — call you unsolicited.
