Reading the wallets — Yorker casefile:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the Yorker platform receiving address.
• Forwarding wallets the platform consolidated through — typically two to four hops on the deposit chain (BTC / ETH / USDT-TRC20 / BSC / Polygon / Arbitrum / Optimism / Avalanche).
• Bridge crossings between chains, where the operator moves value into a chain with deeper liquidity ahead of the off-ramp.
• Mixer interactions — Tornado-Cash variants, Sinbad, and the smaller obfuscation services that operators rotate through under regulatory pressure.
• Final off-ramp wallet — the centralised exchange deposit address that received the consolidated funds.

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

• Yorker off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges — Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The Yorker off-ramp address is matched to known compliance feeds — the Professor’s standing dataset plus chain-analytics references.
• Compliance leverage is applied at the named counterparty for Yorker — the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the Yorker off-ramp does not respond, escalation runs through IC3 (for US claimants), state AG, and (above a dollar threshold) civil-discovery overlay.

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

1. Casefile triage on Yorker — the submission is read; a written assessment is delivered.
2. Forensic trace on Yorker — every hop in the deposit pathway is captured and hashed.
3. Off-ramp identification — the Yorker endpoint is named.
4. Recovery filing on Yorker — packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil discovery as applicable.
5. Continuing review of Yorker — the Professor follows the casefile until next-step documentation exists.

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

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

Recovery scammers do these things; the Professor never does:

• Boundary on Yorker — seed phrases are off-limits.

• Boundary on Yorker — upfront cash retainers are off-limits.
