Trace summary — funds that left tradingweb.io:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to Tradingweb’s receiving wallet at tradingweb.io.
• 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.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• On the Tradingweb casefile, the off-ramp endpoint resolves to a centralised exchange — Bitfinex, MEXC, or Crypto.com seen often in this segment, with the larger venues routed through under stress.
• The off-ramp wallet for Tradingweb is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the Tradingweb casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, Tradingweb escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

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