Trace summary — funds that left costamarkets.com:

• Initial deposit hashes to the Costa Markets receiving address at costamarkets.com.
• Hop-by-hop forwarding wallets across the deposit chain, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge events that move value into the chain where liquidity supports the eventual off-ramp.
• Obfuscation events through mixer contracts and privacy services.
• Centralised-exchange off-ramp wallets — the named counterparty that holds compliance leverage.

The Professor’s off-ramp note:

• Endpoint counterparty in the Costa Markets casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• Costa Markets’s off-ramp wallet is then matched against compliance feeds the Professor maintains a standing read on.
• Leverage is applied to that named counterparty — the Costa Markets packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the Costa Markets off-ramp is non-cooperative, the casefile escalates to IC3, the relevant state AG, and (where dollar value warrants) a civil-discovery overlay for KYC.

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

1. Read the Costa Markets submission — written go/no-go returned.
2. Map the Costa Markets wallet trail — every hop captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Name the Costa Markets off-ramp — endpoint counterparty identified.
4. Build and file the Costa Markets recovery packet — to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil-discovery overlay.
5. Stay on the Costa Markets file — until written next steps exist.
