Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Initial deposit hashes to the FXEDEAL receiving address at fxedeal.com.
• Hop-by-hop forwarding wallets across the deposit chain, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge events that move value into the chain where liquidity supports the eventual off-ramp.
• Obfuscation events through mixer contracts and privacy services.
• Centralised-exchange off-ramp wallets — the named counterparty that holds compliance leverage.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• On the FXEDEAL 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 FXEDEAL is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the FXEDEAL casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, FXEDEAL escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.

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

1. Triage on FXEDEAL — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on FXEDEAL — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on FXEDEAL — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the FXEDEAL packet — IC3, state AG (where loss meets state thresholds), off-ramp compliance desk, and civil-discovery overlay where dollar value supports it.
5. Follow-through on FXEDEAL — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.
