From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for SparkFX.
• Forwarding wallets on the deposit chain — each hop documented with the forwarding tx hash and the consolidating wallet.
• Bridge events into chains where the operator can off-ramp at scale.
• Mixer or privacy-service interactions, where present, listed with the contract address and the deposit/withdraw side.
• Off-ramp endpoint — the centralised exchange deposit address holding the compliance lever.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• Off-ramp endpoint for SparkFX resolves to a named centralised counterparty — the venue varies casefile to casefile, but the resolution always names a real exchange wallet.
• SparkFX’s off-ramp address is matched against the Professor’s compliance feed and against external chain-analytics datasets.
• The compliance packet for SparkFX is structured the way an off-ramp compliance reviewer expects to receive evidence — header, hashes, narrative, ask.
• If the SparkFX off-ramp counterparty does not respond inside the published window, escalation routes through IC3, state AG, and civil discovery.

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

1. Casefile review on SparkFX — reading the submission against the no-go list.
2. Trace mapping on SparkFX — pathway documented to chain-of-custody standard.
3. Off-ramp naming on SparkFX — exchange endpoint identified.
4. Packet filing on SparkFX — to the named off-ramp, IC3, state AG; civil discovery overlay as applicable.
5. Documented follow-through on SparkFX.

What the on-chain reading covers:

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