Trace summary — funds that left sync-fx.com:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to Sync Markets’s receiving wallet at sync-fx.com.
• Forwarding-wallet pathway documented hop-by-hop with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge transactions where the operator routed value out of the deposit chain.
• Mixer or coin-join interactions, where applicable.
• Final off-ramp at a centralised exchange — the compliance counterparty named in the recovery filing.

The Professor’s off-ramp note:

• Sync Markets’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 Sync Markets off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The Sync Markets packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for Sync Markets, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.

Filing pathway — the next step after the off-ramp is identified:

1. Casefile triage on Sync Markets — the submission is read; a written assessment is delivered.
2. Forensic trace on Sync Markets — every hop in the deposit pathway is captured and hashed.
3. Off-ramp identification — the Sync Markets endpoint is named.
4. Recovery filing on Sync Markets — packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil discovery as applicable.
5. Continuing review of Sync Markets — the Professor follows the casefile until next-step documentation exists.

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

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