On-chain reading — wallet flow for W7BT:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for W7BT.
• 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.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• W7BT’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 W7BT off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The W7BT packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for W7BT, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.

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

1. Triage on W7BT — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on W7BT — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on W7BT — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the W7BT packet — IC3, state AG (where loss meets state thresholds), off-ramp compliance desk, and civil-discovery overlay where dollar value supports it.
5. Follow-through on W7BT — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

What the Professor tracks across W7BT casefiles:

• Chains the W7BT 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 W7BT — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the W7BT packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.
