Reading the wallets — Prospero casefile:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the Prospero platform receiving address.
• Forwarding wallets the platform consolidated through — typically two to four hops on the deposit chain (BTC / ETH / USDT-TRC20 / BSC / Polygon / Arbitrum / Optimism / Avalanche).
• Bridge crossings between chains, where the operator moves value into a chain with deeper liquidity ahead of the off-ramp.
• Mixer interactions — Tornado-Cash variants, Sinbad, and the smaller obfuscation services that operators rotate through under regulatory pressure.
• Final off-ramp wallet — the centralised exchange deposit address that received the consolidated funds.

From the lectern — off-ramp identification:

• Prospero’s off-ramp endpoint, in this casefile, is the centralised exchange that holds compliance leverage — typically named in the packet alongside the deposit address.
• Chain-analytics datasets cross-reference the Prospero off-ramp wallet against historical laundering throughput.
• The Prospero packet is delivered to the off-ramp compliance desk in a format the desk’s reviewers act on.
• Escalation pathways for Prospero, where needed: IC3, the relevant state AG, and a civil-discovery overlay for KYC on the off-ramp wallet.
