Wallet trace, what the Professor maps:

• Claimant deposit hashes, provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for Exnova.
• 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 map, where the funds left the chain:

• Exnova’s off-ramp endpoint, in this casefile, is the centralised exchange that holds compliance leverage, typically named in the packet alongside the deposit address.
• Chain-analytics datasets cross-reference the Exnova off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The Exnova packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for Exnova, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.

Pathway to recovery, what happens after the trail is mapped:

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

Reading-list, chains and exchanges in scope:

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