Trace summary — funds that left perpetual-liquidity.com:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to Perpetual’s receiving wallet at perpetual-liquidity.com.
• Forwarding-wallet pathway documented hop-by-hop with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge transactions where the operator routed value out of the deposit chain.
• Mixer or coin-join interactions, where applicable.
• Final off-ramp at a centralised exchange — the compliance counterparty named in the recovery filing.

The Professor’s off-ramp note:

• On the Perpetual casefile, the off-ramp endpoint resolves to a centralised exchange — Bitfinex, MEXC, or Crypto.com seen often in this segment, with the larger venues routed through under stress.
• The off-ramp wallet for Perpetual is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the Perpetual casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, Perpetual escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.

Filing pathway — the next step after the off-ramp is identified:

1. Read the Perpetual submission — written go/no-go returned.
2. Map the Perpetual wallet trail — every hop captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Name the Perpetual off-ramp — endpoint counterparty identified.
4. Build and file the Perpetual recovery packet — to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil-discovery overlay.
5. Stay on the Perpetual file — until written next steps exist.
