Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit-side hashes from claimant wallets into Cardano Capital’s receiving addresses.
• Operator forwarding wallets — deposit consolidation documented to chain-of-custody standards.
• Inter-chain bridge transactions when value moves toward off-ramp liquidity.
• Mixer/obfuscation events the operator routed through, where present.
• Final off-ramp endpoint and named counterparty exchange.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for Cardano Capital:

• Cardano Capital off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges — Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The Cardano Capital off-ramp address is matched to known compliance feeds — the Professor’s standing dataset plus chain-analytics references.
• Compliance leverage is applied at the named counterparty for Cardano Capital — the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the Cardano Capital off-ramp does not respond, escalation runs through IC3 (for US claimants), state AG, and (above a dollar threshold) civil-discovery overlay.

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

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

• Chains tracked on Cardano Capital — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side; Tron USDT-TRC20 and BSC at the consolidation side; bridges crossed where the operator chases liquidity.
• Off-ramps tracked on Cardano Capital — named exchange counterparties with public compliance contacts.
• Filings supported on Cardano Capital — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery — selected by the dollar value and the off-ramp’s responsiveness.
