Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit-side hashes from claimant wallets into Forepay’s receiving addresses.
• Operator forwarding wallets — deposit consolidation documented to chain-of-custody standards.
• Inter-chain bridge transactions when value moves toward off-ramp liquidity.
• Mixer/obfuscation events the operator routed through, where present.
• Final off-ramp endpoint and named counterparty exchange.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for Forepay:

• Forepay’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 Forepay off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The Forepay packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for Forepay, 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. Read the Forepay submission — written go/no-go returned.
2. Map the Forepay wallet trail — every hop captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Name the Forepay off-ramp — endpoint counterparty identified.
4. Build and file the Forepay recovery packet — to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil-discovery overlay.
5. Stay on the Forepay file — until written next steps exist.

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

• Chains tracked on Forepay — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side; Tron USDT-TRC20 and BSC at the consolidation side; bridges crossed where the operator chases liquidity.
• Off-ramps tracked on Forepay — named exchange counterparties with public compliance contacts.
• Filings supported on Forepay — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery — selected by the dollar value and the off-ramp’s responsiveness.

Recovery scammers do these things; the Professor never does:

• On the Forepay casefile — never request a seed phrase. Ever.
• On the Forepay casefile — never request remote-access logins to a wallet or exchange.
• On the Forepay casefile — never demand an upfront cash retainer to scope the matter.
• On the Forepay casefile — never promise a guaranteed recovery. The trail does not promise one.
• On the Forepay casefile — never call the claimant unsolicited. Written-only.
