Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit-side hashes from claimant wallets into Expo Trust’s receiving addresses.
• Operator forwarding wallets — deposit consolidation documented to chain-of-custody standards.
• Inter-chain bridge transactions when value moves toward off-ramp liquidity.
• Mixer/obfuscation events the operator routed through, where present.
• Final off-ramp endpoint and named counterparty exchange.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

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

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

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