From the marginalia, the deposit pathway:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to HOB’s receiving wallet at hob.ltd.
• Forwarding-wallet pathway documented hop-by-hop with chain of custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge transactions where the operator routed value out of the deposit chain.
• Mixer or coin-join interactions, where applicable.
• Final off-ramp at a centralised exchange, the compliance counterparty named in the recovery filing.

The Professor’s recovery note for HOB:

1. Triage on HOB, submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on HOB, deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain of custody hashes.
3. Identify on HOB, off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the HOB packet, IC3, state AG (where loss meets state thresholds), off-ramp compliance desk, and civil-discovery overlay where dollar value supports it.
5. Follow-through on HOB, the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

• Deposit-side chains in HOB 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 HOB packets, centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on HOB, IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.

Recovery scammers do these things; the Professor never does:

• Hard line on HOB, no seed-phrase requests, period.
• Hard line on HOB, no remote logins requested.
• Hard line on HOB, no upfront cash retainer.
• Hard line on HOB, no guarantee language.
• Hard line on HOB, no unsolicited phone outreach.
