Trace summary — funds that left in-option.com:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to In Option’s receiving wallet at in-option.com.
• 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.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

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

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

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