The annotation reads — wallet trace:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the MyTradeMate 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.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• MyTradeMate casefiles end at a centralised exchange — Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, or Gate.io are common; the casefile names the actual deposit address that received the consolidated funds.
• Off-ramp wallet for MyTradeMate is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for MyTradeMate — the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the MyTradeMate casefile.

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

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

What the casefile records — chains and counterparties:

• Deposit-side chains in MyTradeMate casefiles — typically the major chains (BTC, ETH) and the high-throughput stablecoin chains (Tron USDT, BSC USDT) — with bridge crossings noted.
• Off-ramps named in MyTradeMate packets — centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on MyTradeMate — IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.

What is never asked of a claimant:

• On the MyTradeMate casefile — never request a seed phrase. Ever.
• On the MyTradeMate casefile — never request remote-access logins to a wallet or exchange.
• On the MyTradeMate casefile — never demand an upfront cash retainer to scope the matter.
• On the MyTradeMate casefile — never promise a guaranteed recovery. The trail does not promise one.
• On the MyTradeMate casefile — never call the claimant unsolicited. Written-only.
