From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Claimant-to-platform deposit transactions on the deposit chain used by NitiVest.
• Operator-controlled forwarding wallets where deposits consolidate ahead of laundering or off-ramping.
• Cross-chain bridge events to chains with deeper exchange liquidity.
• Privacy-service interactions, where present in the trail.
• Off-ramp wallet — the named centralised-exchange endpoint.

Off-ramp map — where the funds left the chain:

• NitiVest’s off-ramp endpoint, in this casefile, is the centralised exchange that holds compliance leverage — typically named in the packet alongside the deposit address.
• Chain-analytics datasets cross-reference the NitiVest off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The NitiVest packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for NitiVest, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

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

What the casefile records — chains and counterparties:

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