The annotation reads, wallet trace:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to Meridian Trades’s receiving wallet at meridian-trades.com.
• 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 Meridian Trades off-ramp address is matched to known compliance feeds, the Professor’s standing dataset plus chain-analytics references.
• Compliance leverage is applied at the named counterparty for Meridian Trades, the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the Meridian Trades off-ramp does not respond, escalation runs through IC3 (for US claimants), state AG, and (above a dollar threshold) civil-discovery overlay.
