From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Initial deposit hashes to the Equity Edge receiving address at equityedge.io.
• 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.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for Equity Edge:

• Off-ramp endpoint for Equity Edge resolves to a named centralised counterparty — the venue varies casefile to casefile, but the resolution always names a real exchange wallet.
• Equity Edge’s off-ramp address is matched against the Professor’s compliance feed and against external chain-analytics datasets.
• The compliance packet for Equity Edge is structured the way an off-ramp compliance reviewer expects to receive evidence — header, hashes, narrative, ask.
• If the Equity Edge off-ramp counterparty does not respond inside the published window, escalation routes through IC3, state AG, and civil discovery.

Filing pathway — the next step after the off-ramp is identified:

1. Casefile triage on Equity Edge — the submission is read; a written assessment is delivered.
2. Forensic trace on Equity Edge — every hop in the deposit pathway is captured and hashed.
3. Off-ramp identification — the Equity Edge endpoint is named.
4. Recovery filing on Equity Edge — packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil discovery as applicable.
5. Continuing review of Equity Edge — the Professor follows the casefile until next-step documentation exists.

What the Professor tracks across Equity Edge casefiles:

• Deposit-side chains in Equity Edge casefiles — typically the major chains (BTC, ETH) and the high-throughput stablecoin chains (Tron USDT, BSC USDT) — with bridge crossings noted.
• Off-ramps named in Equity Edge packets — centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on Equity Edge — IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.
