Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the Broker IQ 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 map — where the funds left the chain:

• Endpoint counterparty in the Broker IQ casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• Broker IQ’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 Broker IQ packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the Broker IQ 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. Casefile review on Broker IQ — reading the submission against the no-go list.
2. Trace mapping on Broker IQ — pathway documented to chain-of-custody standard.
3. Off-ramp naming on Broker IQ — exchange endpoint identified.
4. Packet filing on Broker IQ — to the named off-ramp, IC3, state AG; civil discovery overlay as applicable.
5. Documented follow-through on Broker IQ.

What the Professor tracks across Broker IQ casefiles:

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