From the marginalia, the deposit pathway:

• Deposit transaction hashes from the claimant wallet to the Shibuya Capital 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.

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

• Shibuya Capital 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 Shibuya Capital is matched against compliance and chain-analytics datasets the Professor reads daily.
• Compliance leverage applied to the named off-ramp for Shibuya Capital, the packet is delivered in compliance-desk format.
• Non-cooperative off-ramps trigger IC3 + state-AG + civil-discovery escalation on the Shibuya Capital casefile.

Pathway to recovery, what happens after the trail is mapped:

1. Casefile triage on Shibuya Capital, the submission is read; a written assessment is delivered.
2. Forensic trace on Shibuya Capital, every hop in the deposit pathway is captured and hashed.
3. Off-ramp identification, the Shibuya Capital endpoint is named.
4. Recovery filing on Shibuya Capital, packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil discovery as applicable.
5. Continuing review of Shibuya Capital, the Professor follows the casefile until next-step documentation exists.

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

• Chains tracked on Shibuya Capital, 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 Shibuya Capital, named exchange counterparties with public compliance contacts.
• Filings supported on Shibuya Capital, IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery, selected by the dollar value and the off-ramp’s responsiveness.
