The annotation reads — wallet trace:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for ECB Crypto.
• Forwarding wallets on the deposit chain — each hop documented with the forwarding tx hash and the consolidating wallet.
• Bridge events into chains where the operator can off-ramp at scale.
• Mixer or privacy-service interactions, where present, listed with the contract address and the deposit/withdraw side.
• Off-ramp endpoint — the centralised exchange deposit address holding the compliance lever.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• On the ECB Crypto casefile, the off-ramp endpoint resolves to a centralised exchange — Bitfinex, MEXC, or Crypto.com seen often in this segment, with the larger venues routed through under stress.
• The off-ramp wallet for ECB Crypto is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the ECB Crypto casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, ECB Crypto escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.

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

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

What the Professor tracks across ECB Crypto casefiles:

• Deposit + forwarding chains for ECB Crypto — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron USDT-TRC20, plus the smart-contract chains (BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism) that cross via bridges.
• Off-ramps the ECB Crypto casefile may resolve to — centralised exchanges that respond to compliance filings.
• Filing pathways on ECB Crypto — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay.
