From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for marketmakers.cc.
• 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.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

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

Filing pathway — the next step after the off-ramp is identified:

1. Casefile triage on marketmakers.cc — the submission is read; a written assessment is delivered.
2. Forensic trace on marketmakers.cc — every hop in the deposit pathway is captured and hashed.
3. Off-ramp identification — the marketmakers.cc endpoint is named.
4. Recovery filing on marketmakers.cc — packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil discovery as applicable.
5. Continuing review of marketmakers.cc — the Professor follows the casefile until next-step documentation exists.

Reading-list — chains and exchanges in scope:

• Chains tracked on marketmakers.cc — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side; Tron USDT-TRC20 and BSC at the consolidation side; bridges crossed where the operator chases liquidity.
• Off-ramps tracked on marketmakers.cc — named exchange counterparties with public compliance contacts.
• Filings supported on marketmakers.cc — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery — selected by the dollar value and the off-ramp’s responsiveness.
