From the marginalia, the deposit pathway:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to CedarFX’s receiving wallet at cedarfx.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, CedarFX casefile:

• CedarFX off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges, Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The CedarFX 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 CedarFX, the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the CedarFX off-ramp does not respond, escalation runs through IC3 (for US claimants), state AG, and (above a dollar threshold) civil-discovery overlay.
