Reading the wallets — Montana Trading casefile:

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

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• Montana Trading off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges — Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The Montana Trading 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 Montana Trading — the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the Montana Trading off-ramp does not respond, escalation runs through IC3 (for US claimants), state AG, and (above a dollar threshold) civil-discovery overlay.

Recovery sequence — from on-chain reading to filed packet:

2. Trace on Montana Trading — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on Montana Trading — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the Montana Trading 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 Montana Trading — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

What the Professor tracks across Montana Trading casefiles:

• Off-ramps relevant to Montana Trading — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the Montana Trading packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.
