Trace summary — funds that left helptrading.net:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for Help Trading.
• 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 reading — exchange counterparty for Help Trading:

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

Recovery sequence — from on-chain reading to filed packet:

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

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

• Chains the Help Trading casefile may touch — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side, Tron USDT-TRC20 in stablecoin pathways, BNB Smart Chain and the L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base) where bridges link them.
• Off-ramps relevant to Help Trading — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the Help Trading packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.
