Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Claimant-to-platform deposit transactions on the deposit chain used by Horizon Finance.
• Operator-controlled forwarding wallets where deposits consolidate ahead of laundering or off-ramping.
• Cross-chain bridge events to chains with deeper exchange liquidity.
• Privacy-service interactions, where present in the trail.
• Off-ramp wallet — the named centralised-exchange endpoint.

Off-ramp summary — Horizon Finance casefile:

• Horizon Finance casefiles end at a centralised exchange — Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, or Gate.io are common; the casefile names the actual deposit address that received the consolidated funds.
• Off-ramp wallet for Horizon Finance is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for Horizon Finance — the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the Horizon Finance casefile.

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

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