Reading the wallets — AF Index casefile:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the AF Index 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.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for AF Index:

• Off-ramp endpoint for AF Index resolves to a named centralised counterparty — the venue varies casefile to casefile, but the resolution always names a real exchange wallet.
• AF Index’s off-ramp address is matched against the Professor’s compliance feed and against external chain-analytics datasets.
• The compliance packet for AF Index is structured the way an off-ramp compliance reviewer expects to receive evidence — header, hashes, narrative, ask.
• If the AF Index off-ramp counterparty does not respond inside the published window, escalation routes through IC3, state AG, and civil discovery.

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

1. First read on AF Index — incoming submission is reviewed against the no-go list and a written go/no-go is returned in writing.
2. Wallet trace on AF Index — deposit-to-off-ramp pathway is mapped across chains with verifiable hashes.
3. Counterparty identification — the off-ramp endpoint for AF Index is named to a centralised exchange wallet.
4. Packet filing on AF Index — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance desk; civil discovery if dollar value justifies it.
5. Casefile follow-through — the Professor stays with AF Index until a documented outcome or escalation step is on file.

What we read in a AF Index casefile:

• Chains the AF Index casefile may touch — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side, Tron USDT-TRC20 in stablecoin pathways, BNB Smart Chain and the L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base) where bridges link them.
• Off-ramps relevant to AF Index — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the AF Index packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.
