Trace summary — funds that left acemarketsllc.com:

• Initial deposit hashes to the Ace Markets receiving address at acemarketsllc.com.
• Hop-by-hop forwarding wallets across the deposit chain, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.

• Obfuscation events through mixer contracts and privacy services.
• Centralised-exchange off-ramp wallets — the named counterparty that holds compliance leverage.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for Ace Markets:

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