From the marginalia, the deposit pathway:

• Initial deposit hashes to the Prime Whale receiving address at prime-whale.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.

From the lectern, off-ramp identification:

• Prime Whale casefiles end at a centralised exchange, Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, or Gate.io are common; the casefile names the actual deposit address that received the consolidated funds.
• Off-ramp wallet for Prime Whale is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for Prime Whale, the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the Prime Whale casefile.

Filing pathway, the next step after the off-ramp is identified:

1. Submission triage, Prime Whale casefile reviewed against the no-go list, written reply within one business day.
2. Pathway trace, Prime Whale deposit and forwarding wallets captured.
3. Endpoint identification, Prime Whale off-ramp wallet named.
4. Filing, Prime Whale packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery as needed.
5. Ongoing follow, Prime Whale stays on file until a documented next step is reached.
