From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the STK 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.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• STK’s off-ramp endpoint, in this casefile, is the centralised exchange that holds compliance leverage — typically named in the packet alongside the deposit address.
• Chain-analytics datasets cross-reference the STK off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The STK packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for STK, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.

Recovery sequence — from on-chain reading to filed packet:

1. Casefile triage on STK — the submission is read; a written assessment is delivered.
2. Forensic trace on STK — every hop in the deposit pathway is captured and hashed.
3. Off-ramp identification — the STK endpoint is named.
4. Recovery filing on STK — packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil discovery as applicable.
5. Continuing review of STK — the Professor follows the casefile until next-step documentation exists.

Reading-list — chains and exchanges in scope:

• Deposit-side chains in STK casefiles — typically the major chains (BTC, ETH) and the high-throughput stablecoin chains (Tron USDT, BSC USDT) — with bridge crossings noted.
• Off-ramps named in STK packets — centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on STK — IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.

Boundaries on every STK casefile — never crossed:

• STK policy — seed phrases are never requested.
• STK policy — remote-access logins are never requested.
• STK policy — no upfront cash retainer to scope.
• STK policy — no guaranteed-recovery language. None.
• STK policy — no unsolicited calls. The Professor responds in writing only.
