Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the Trading Space 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.

Off-ramp summary — Trading Space casefile:

• On the Trading Space casefile, the off-ramp endpoint resolves to a centralised exchange — Bitfinex, MEXC, or Crypto.com seen often in this segment, with the larger venues routed through under stress.
• The off-ramp wallet for Trading Space is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the Trading Space casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, Trading Space escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.

Pathway to recovery — what happens after the trail is mapped:

1. First read on Trading Space — incoming submission is reviewed against the no-go list and a written go/no-go is returned in writing.
2. Wallet trace on Trading Space — deposit-to-off-ramp pathway is mapped across chains with verifiable hashes.
3. Counterparty identification — the off-ramp endpoint for Trading Space is named to a centralised exchange wallet.
4. Packet filing on Trading Space — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance desk; civil discovery if dollar value justifies it.
5. Casefile follow-through — the Professor stays with Trading Space until a documented outcome or escalation step is on file.

What the casefile records — chains and counterparties:

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