Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Claimant-to-platform deposit transactions on the deposit chain used by DEMO.
• 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.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• DEMO 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 DEMO is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for DEMO — the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the DEMO casefile.

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

1. Submission triage — DEMO casefile reviewed against the no-go list, written reply within one business day.
2. Pathway trace — DEMO deposit and forwarding wallets captured.
3. Endpoint identification — DEMO off-ramp wallet named.
4. Filing — DEMO packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery as needed.
5. Ongoing follow — DEMO stays on file until a documented next step is reached.

What the on-chain reading covers:

• Chains the Professor reads for DEMO casefiles — BTC, ETH, Tron USDT, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, plus the cross-chain bridges that link them.
• Off-ramps named in DEMO — major centralised venues with compliance desks that accept regulator-grade packets.
• Filing pathways available on DEMO — IC3 for US claimants, state AG offices, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay for high-value loss.
