Reading the wallets — EquityTrade casefile:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the EquityTrade 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:

• Endpoint counterparty in the EquityTrade casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• EquityTrade’s off-ramp wallet is then matched against compliance feeds the Professor maintains a standing read on.
• Leverage is applied to that named counterparty — the EquityTrade packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the EquityTrade off-ramp is non-cooperative, the casefile escalates to IC3, the relevant state AG, and (where dollar value warrants) a civil-discovery overlay for KYC.
