Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Claimant-to-platform deposit transactions on the deposit chain used by DotBig.
• Operator-controlled forwarding wallets where deposits consolidate ahead of laundering or off-ramping.
• Cross-chain bridge events to chains with deeper exchange liquidity.
• Privacy-service interactions, where present in the trail.
• Off-ramp wallet — the named centralised-exchange endpoint.

Off-ramp map — where the funds left the chain:

• DotBig’s off-ramp endpoint, in this casefile, is the centralised exchange that holds compliance leverage — typically named in the packet alongside the deposit address.
• Chain-analytics datasets cross-reference the DotBig off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The DotBig packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for DotBig, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.

Pathway to recovery — what happens after the trail is mapped:

1. Submission triage — DotBig casefile reviewed against the no-go list, written reply within one business day.
2. Pathway trace — DotBig deposit and forwarding wallets captured.
3. Endpoint identification — DotBig off-ramp wallet named.
4. Filing — DotBig packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery as needed.
5. Ongoing follow — DotBig stays on file until a documented next step is reached.

What the on-chain reading covers:

• Deposit-side chains in DotBig casefiles — typically the major chains (BTC, ETH) and the high-throughput stablecoin chains (Tron USDT, BSC USDT) — with bridge crossings noted.
• Off-ramps named in DotBig packets — centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on DotBig — IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.

What is never asked of a claimant:

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