Trace summary — funds that left opendealbroker.com:

• Initial deposit hashes to the Open Deal Broker receiving address at opendealbroker.com.
• Hop-by-hop forwarding wallets across the deposit chain, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge events that move value into the chain where liquidity supports the eventual off-ramp.
• Obfuscation events through mixer contracts and privacy services.
• Centralised-exchange off-ramp wallets — the named counterparty that holds compliance leverage.

Off-ramp summary — Open Deal Broker casefile:

• Endpoint counterparty in the Open Deal Broker casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• Open Deal Broker’s off-ramp wallet is then matched against compliance feeds the Professor maintains a standing read on.
• Leverage is applied to that named counterparty — the Open Deal Broker packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the Open Deal Broker off-ramp is non-cooperative, the casefile escalates to IC3, the relevant state AG, and (where dollar value warrants) a civil-discovery overlay for KYC.
