Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for 22 Pips.
• 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.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• Endpoint counterparty in the 22 Pips casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• 22 Pips’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 22 Pips packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the 22 Pips 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.

Filing pathway — the next step after the off-ramp is identified:

1. Triage on 22 Pips — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on 22 Pips — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on 22 Pips — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the 22 Pips 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 22 Pips — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

What the casefile records — chains and counterparties:

• Chains the Professor reads for 22 Pips casefiles — BTC, ETH, Tron USDT, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, plus the cross-chain bridges that link them.
• Off-ramps named in 22 Pips — major centralised venues with compliance desks that accept regulator-grade packets.
• Filing pathways available on 22 Pips — IC3 for US claimants, state AG offices, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay for high-value loss.

What the Professor will never do — by policy:

• On the 22 Pips casefile — never request a seed phrase. Ever.
• On the 22 Pips casefile — never request remote-access logins to a wallet or exchange.
• On the 22 Pips casefile — never demand an upfront cash retainer to scope the matter.
• On the 22 Pips casefile — never promise a guaranteed recovery. The trail does not promise one.
• On the 22 Pips casefile — never call the claimant unsolicited. Written-only.
