Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to Shiba Markets’s receiving wallet at shibamarkets.com.
• 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.

Off-ramp map — where the funds left the chain:

• Endpoint counterparty in the Shiba Markets casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• Shiba Markets’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 Shiba Markets packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the Shiba Markets 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.

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

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

What we read in a Shiba Markets casefile:

• Chains tracked on Shiba Markets — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side; Tron USDT-TRC20 and BSC at the consolidation side; bridges crossed where the operator chases liquidity.
• Off-ramps tracked on Shiba Markets — named exchange counterparties with public compliance contacts.
• Filings supported on Shiba Markets — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery — selected by the dollar value and the off-ramp’s responsiveness.

What the Professor will never do — by policy:

• On the Shiba Markets casefile — never request a seed phrase. Ever.
• On the Shiba Markets casefile — never request remote-access logins to a wallet or exchange.
• On the Shiba Markets casefile — never demand an upfront cash retainer to scope the matter.
• On the Shiba Markets casefile — never promise a guaranteed recovery. The trail does not promise one.
• On the Shiba Markets casefile — never call the claimant unsolicited. Written-only.
