Reading the wallets — Myrtle casefile:

• Initial deposit hashes to the Myrtle receiving address at myrtle.ltd.
• Hop-by-hop forwarding wallets across the deposit chain, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge events that move value into the chain where liquidity supports the eventual off-ramp.
• Obfuscation events through mixer contracts and privacy services.
• Centralised-exchange off-ramp wallets — the named counterparty that holds compliance leverage.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• Myrtle off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges — Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The Myrtle 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 Myrtle — the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the Myrtle 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. First read on Myrtle — incoming submission is reviewed against the no-go list and a written go/no-go is returned in writing.
2. Wallet trace on Myrtle — deposit-to-off-ramp pathway is mapped across chains with verifiable hashes.
3. Counterparty identification — the off-ramp endpoint for Myrtle is named to a centralised exchange wallet.
4. Packet filing on Myrtle — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance desk; civil discovery if dollar value justifies it.
5. Casefile follow-through — the Professor stays with Myrtle until a documented outcome or escalation step is on file.

What the Professor tracks across Myrtle casefiles:

• Chains the Myrtle 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 Myrtle — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the Myrtle packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.
