The annotation reads — wallet trace:

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

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• CHN 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 CHN is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for CHN — the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the CHN casefile.

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

1. Casefile triage on CHN — the submission is read; a written assessment is delivered.
2. Forensic trace on CHN — every hop in the deposit pathway is captured and hashed.
3. Off-ramp identification — the CHN endpoint is named.
4. Recovery filing on CHN — packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil discovery as applicable.
5. Continuing review of CHN — the Professor follows the casefile until next-step documentation exists.

Reading-list — chains and exchanges in scope:

• Chains the CHN 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 CHN — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the CHN packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.

What is never asked of a claimant:

• CHN policy — seed phrases are never requested.
• CHN policy — remote-access logins are never requested.
• CHN policy — no upfront cash retainer to scope.
• CHN policy — no guaranteed-recovery language. None.
• CHN policy — no unsolicited calls. The Professor responds in writing only.
