Reading the wallets — METFX casefile:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to METFX’s receiving wallet at metfx.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:

• On the METFX casefile, the off-ramp endpoint resolves to a centralised exchange — Bitfinex, MEXC, or Crypto.com seen often in this segment, with the larger venues routed through under stress.
• The off-ramp wallet for METFX is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the METFX casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, METFX escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.

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

1. Triage on METFX — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on METFX — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on METFX — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the METFX 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 METFX — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

What the casefile records — chains and counterparties:

• Chains the METFX casefile may touch — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side, Tron USDT-TRC20 in stablecoin pathways, BNB Smart Chain and the L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base) where bridges link them.
• Off-ramps relevant to METFX — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the METFX packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.
