Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit-side hashes from claimant wallets into Trust Vestify’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.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• Off-ramp endpoint for Trust Vestify resolves to a named centralised counterparty — the venue varies casefile to casefile, but the resolution always names a real exchange wallet.
• Trust Vestify’s off-ramp address is matched against the Professor’s compliance feed and against external chain-analytics datasets.
• The compliance packet for Trust Vestify is structured the way an off-ramp compliance reviewer expects to receive evidence — header, hashes, narrative, ask.
• If the Trust Vestify 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. Read the Trust Vestify submission — written go/no-go returned.
2. Map the Trust Vestify wallet trail — every hop captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Name the Trust Vestify off-ramp — endpoint counterparty identified.
4. Build and file the Trust Vestify recovery packet — to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil-discovery overlay.
5. Stay on the Trust Vestify file — until written next steps exist.
