Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for TradeFTM.
• Forwarding wallets on the deposit chain — each hop documented with the forwarding tx hash and the consolidating wallet.
• Bridge events into chains where the operator can off-ramp at scale.
• Mixer or privacy-service interactions, where present, listed with the contract address and the deposit/withdraw side.
• Off-ramp endpoint — the centralised exchange deposit address holding the compliance lever.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for TradeFTM:

• TradeFTM’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 TradeFTM off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The TradeFTM packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for TradeFTM, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.
