Trace summary — funds that left afmarket.com:

• Initial deposit hashes to the AF Markets receiving address at afmarket.com.
• Hop-by-hop forwarding wallets across the deposit chain, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge events that move value into the chain where liquidity supports the eventual off-ramp.
• Obfuscation events through mixer contracts and privacy services.
• Centralised-exchange off-ramp wallets — the named counterparty that holds compliance leverage.

The Professor’s off-ramp note:

• AF Markets casefiles end at a centralised exchange — Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, or Gate.io are common; the casefile names the actual deposit address that received the consolidated funds.
• Off-ramp wallet for AF Markets is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for AF Markets — the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the AF Markets casefile.

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

1. Read the AF Markets submission — written go/no-go returned.
2. Map the AF Markets wallet trail — every hop captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Name the AF Markets off-ramp — endpoint counterparty identified.
4. Build and file the AF Markets recovery packet — to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil-discovery overlay.
5. Stay on the AF Markets file — until written next steps exist.
