Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to Pinpoint Trade’s receiving wallet at pinpoint-tradeoption.org.
• 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:

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

Recovery pathway — how this casefile moves toward filing:

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

What the on-chain reading covers:
