Wallet trace, what the Professor maps:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to Loft Trade’s receiving wallet at loft.trade.
• Forwarding-wallet pathway documented hop-by-hop with chain of custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge transactions where the operator routed value out of the deposit chain.
• Mixer or coin-join interactions, where applicable.
• Final off-ramp at a centralised exchange, the compliance counterparty named in the recovery filing.

The annotation continues, off-ramp endpoint:

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

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

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

Reading-list, chains and exchanges in scope:

• Chains tracked on Loft Trade, Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side; Tron USDT-TRC20 and BSC at the consolidation side; bridges crossed where the operator chases liquidity.
• Off-ramps tracked on Loft Trade, named exchange counterparties with public compliance contacts.
• Filings supported on Loft Trade, IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery, selected by the dollar value and the off-ramp’s responsiveness.

Recovery scammers do these things; the Professor never does:

• On the Loft Trade casefile, never request a seed phrase. Ever.
• On the Loft Trade casefile, never request remote-access logins to a wallet or exchange.
• On the Loft Trade casefile, never demand an upfront cash retainer to scope the matter.
• On the Loft Trade casefile, never promise a guaranteed recovery. The trail does not promise one.
• On the Loft Trade casefile, never call the claimant unsolicited. Written-only.
