From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Claimant-to-platform deposit transactions on the deposit chain used by Cooper Markets.
• Operator-controlled forwarding wallets where deposits consolidate ahead of laundering or off-ramping.
• Cross-chain bridge events to chains with deeper exchange liquidity.
• Privacy-service interactions, where present in the trail.
• Off-ramp wallet — the named centralised-exchange endpoint.

The Professor’s off-ramp note:

• Endpoint counterparty in the Cooper Markets casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• Cooper Markets’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 Cooper Markets packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the Cooper Markets 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.

2. Pathway trace — Cooper Markets deposit and forwarding wallets captured.
3. Endpoint identification — Cooper Markets off-ramp wallet named.
4. Filing — Cooper Markets packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery as needed.
5. Ongoing follow — Cooper Markets stays on file until a documented next step is reached.
