On-chain reading — wallet flow for E Barrel:

• Initial deposit hashes to the E Barrel receiving address at e-barrel.com.
• Hop-by-hop forwarding wallets across the deposit chain, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.

• Obfuscation events through mixer contracts and privacy services.
• Centralised-exchange off-ramp wallets — the named counterparty that holds compliance leverage.

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

• E Barrel off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges — Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The E Barrel 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 E Barrel — the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the E Barrel off-ramp does not respond, escalation runs through IC3 (for US claimants), state AG, and (above a dollar threshold) civil-discovery overlay.
