Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

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

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

Recovery sequence — from on-chain reading to filed packet:

1. Submission triage — EXBANK casefile reviewed against the no-go list, written reply within one business day.
2. Pathway trace — EXBANK deposit and forwarding wallets captured.
3. Endpoint identification — EXBANK off-ramp wallet named.
4. Filing — EXBANK packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery as needed.
5. Ongoing follow — EXBANK stays on file until a documented next step is reached.

Reading-list — chains and exchanges in scope:

• Chains the EXBANK 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 EXBANK — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the EXBANK packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.
