Wallet trace, what the Professor maps:

• Initial deposit hashes to the Stellar Hub receiving address at stellar-hub.io.
• 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.

Off-ramp reading, exchange counterparty for Stellar Hub:

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

Recovery pathway, how this casefile moves toward filing:

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

What the on-chain reading covers:

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