Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to DowTrade’s receiving wallet at dowtrade.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.

Off-ramp summary — DowTrade casefile:

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

How a DowTrade casefile becomes a regulator-ready filing:

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

Reading-list — chains and exchanges in scope:

• Chains the Professor reads for DowTrade casefiles — BTC, ETH, Tron USDT, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, plus the cross-chain bridges that link them.
• Off-ramps named in DowTrade — major centralised venues with compliance desks that accept regulator-grade packets.
• Filing pathways available on DowTrade — IC3 for US claimants, state AG offices, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay for high-value loss.
