On-chain reading — wallet flow for CIFT:

• Deposit-side hashes from claimant wallets into CIFT’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 map — where the funds left the chain:

• On the CIFT casefile, the off-ramp endpoint resolves to a centralised exchange — Bitfinex, MEXC, or Crypto.com seen often in this segment, with the larger venues routed through under stress.
• The off-ramp wallet for CIFT is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the CIFT casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, CIFT escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:
