From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

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

Off-ramp summary — FinConnect casefile:

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

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

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

What the on-chain reading covers:

• Chains tracked on FinConnect — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side; Tron USDT-TRC20 and BSC at the consolidation side; bridges crossed where the operator chases liquidity.
• Off-ramps tracked on FinConnect — named exchange counterparties with public compliance contacts.
• Filings supported on FinConnect — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery — selected by the dollar value and the off-ramp’s responsiveness.
