From the marginalia, the deposit pathway:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the Carlton 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 reading, exchange counterparty for Carlton:

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