The annotation reads — wallet trace:

• Deposit-side hashes from claimant wallets into AltimaTrade’s receiving addresses.
• Operator forwarding wallets — deposit consolidation documented to chain-of-custody standards.
• Inter-chain bridge transactions when value moves toward off-ramp liquidity.
• Mixer/obfuscation events the operator routed through, where present.
• Final off-ramp endpoint and named counterparty exchange.

Off-ramp map — where the funds left the chain:

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

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

1. Triage on AltimaTrade — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on AltimaTrade — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on AltimaTrade — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the AltimaTrade 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 AltimaTrade — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

What the casefile records — chains and counterparties:

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