On-chain reading — wallet flow for FTX:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for FTX.
• 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 map — where the funds left the chain:

• Endpoint counterparty in the FTX casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• FTX’s off-ramp wallet is then matched against compliance feeds the Professor maintains a standing read on.
• Leverage is applied to that named counterparty — the FTX packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the FTX off-ramp is non-cooperative, the casefile escalates to IC3, the relevant state AG, and (where dollar value warrants) a civil-discovery overlay for KYC.

How a FTX casefile becomes a regulator-ready filing:

1. Read the FTX submission — written go/no-go returned.
2. Map the FTX wallet trail — every hop captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Name the FTX off-ramp — endpoint counterparty identified.
4. Build and file the FTX recovery packet — to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil-discovery overlay.
5. Stay on the FTX file — until written next steps exist.

What the on-chain reading covers:

• Chains tracked on FTX — 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 FTX — named exchange counterparties with public compliance contacts.
• Filings supported on FTX — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery — selected by the dollar value and the off-ramp’s responsiveness.
