The annotation reads — wallet trace:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to Monte Verde’s receiving wallet at monte-verde.ch.
• 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.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• Monte Verde off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges — Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The Monte Verde 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 Monte Verde — the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the Monte Verde 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. Triage on Monte Verde — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on Monte Verde — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on Monte Verde — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the Monte Verde 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 Monte Verde — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.
