Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to TradeState’s receiving wallet at trade-state.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 reading — exchange counterparty for TradeState:

• Off-ramp endpoint for TradeState resolves to a named centralised counterparty — the venue varies casefile to casefile, but the resolution always names a real exchange wallet.
• TradeState’s off-ramp address is matched against the Professor’s compliance feed and against external chain-analytics datasets.
• The compliance packet for TradeState is structured the way an off-ramp compliance reviewer expects to receive evidence — header, hashes, narrative, ask.
• If the TradeState off-ramp counterparty does not respond inside the published window, escalation routes through IC3, state AG, and civil discovery.

• Off-ramps named in TradeState packets — centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on TradeState — IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.
