Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

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

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• Off-ramp endpoint for Cronos Markets resolves to a named centralised counterparty — the venue varies casefile to casefile, but the resolution always names a real exchange wallet.
• Cronos Markets’s off-ramp address is matched against the Professor’s compliance feed and against external chain-analytics datasets.
• The compliance packet for Cronos Markets is structured the way an off-ramp compliance reviewer expects to receive evidence — header, hashes, narrative, ask.
• If the Cronos Markets off-ramp counterparty does not respond inside the published window, escalation routes through IC3, state AG, and civil discovery.
