Reading the wallets — LIGER casefile:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the LIGER platform receiving address.
• Forwarding wallets the platform consolidated through — typically two to four hops on the deposit chain (BTC / ETH / USDT-TRC20 / BSC / Polygon / Arbitrum / Optimism / Avalanche).
• Bridge crossings between chains, where the operator moves value into a chain with deeper liquidity ahead of the off-ramp.
• Mixer interactions — Tornado-Cash variants, Sinbad, and the smaller obfuscation services that operators rotate through under regulatory pressure.
• Final off-ramp wallet — the centralised exchange deposit address that received the consolidated funds.

Off-ramp map — where the funds left the chain:

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

Pathway to recovery — what happens after the trail is mapped:

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

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

• Chains in scope for LIGER — the chains that handle the volume of casefile activity in this segment (BTC, ETH, Tron, BSC, plus L2s).
• Off-ramps in scope for LIGER — named centralised exchanges with compliance leverage.
• Filings supported on LIGER — IC3, state AG, off-ramp desk, civil discovery as applicable.

Lines the Professor will not cross:

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