From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for Progresive Trade.
• 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 Progresive Trade:

• Endpoint counterparty in the Progresive Trade casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• Progresive Trade’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 Progresive Trade packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the Progresive Trade 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.

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

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