The annotation reads — wallet trace:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for ETHBTC.
• 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.

Off-ramp summary — ETHBTC casefile:

• ETHBTC casefiles end at a centralised exchange — Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, or Gate.io are common; the casefile names the actual deposit address that received the consolidated funds.
• Off-ramp wallet for ETHBTC is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for ETHBTC — the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the ETHBTC casefile.

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

1. First read on ETHBTC — incoming submission is reviewed against the no-go list and a written go/no-go is returned in writing.
2. Wallet trace on ETHBTC — deposit-to-off-ramp pathway is mapped across chains with verifiable hashes.
3. Counterparty identification — the off-ramp endpoint for ETHBTC is named to a centralised exchange wallet.
4. Packet filing on ETHBTC — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance desk; civil discovery if dollar value justifies it.
5. Casefile follow-through — the Professor stays with ETHBTC until a documented outcome or escalation step is on file.
