From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Deposit-side hashes from claimant wallets into TrustGarden’s receiving addresses.
• Operator forwarding wallets — deposit consolidation documented to chain-of-custody standards.
• Inter-chain bridge transactions when value moves toward off-ramp liquidity.
• Mixer/obfuscation events the operator routed through, where present.
• Final off-ramp endpoint and named counterparty exchange.

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

• Endpoint counterparty in the TrustGarden casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• TrustGarden’s off-ramp wallet is then matched against compliance feeds the Professor maintains a standing read on.
• Leverage is applied to that named counterparty — the TrustGarden packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the TrustGarden off-ramp is non-cooperative, the casefile escalates to IC3, the relevant state AG, and (where dollar value warrants) a civil-discovery overlay for KYC.
