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.

Recovery sequence — from on-chain reading to filed packet:

1. Triage on Carlton — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on Carlton — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on Carlton — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the Carlton 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 Carlton — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

What the on-chain reading covers:
