The annotation reads — wallet trace:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to ZKTrade’s receiving wallet at zkmt4.com.
• Forwarding-wallet pathway documented hop-by-hop with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge transactions where the operator routed value out of the deposit chain.
• Mixer or coin-join interactions, where applicable.
• Final off-ramp at a centralised exchange — the compliance counterparty named in the recovery filing.

Off-ramp summary — ZKTrade casefile:

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

• Chains the Professor reads for ZKTrade casefiles — BTC, ETH, Tron USDT, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, plus the cross-chain bridges that link them.

• Filing pathways available on ZKTrade — IC3 for US claimants, state AG offices, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay for high-value loss.
