From the marginalia, the deposit pathway:

• Claimant-to-platform deposit transactions on the deposit chain used by Trustbit.
• Operator-controlled forwarding wallets where deposits consolidate ahead of laundering or off-ramping.
• Cross-chain bridge events to chains with deeper exchange liquidity.
• Privacy-service interactions, where present in the trail.
• Off-ramp wallet, the named centralised-exchange endpoint.

Off-ramp summary, Trustbit casefile:

• Trustbit off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges, Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The Trustbit off-ramp address is matched to known compliance feeds, the Professor’s standing dataset plus chain-analytics references.
• Compliance leverage is applied at the named counterparty for Trustbit, the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the Trustbit off-ramp does not respond, escalation runs through IC3 (for US claimants), state AG, and (above a dollar threshold) civil-discovery overlay.

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

1. Read the Trustbit submission, written go/no-go returned.
2. Map the Trustbit wallet trail, every hop captured with chain of custody hashes.
3. Name the Trustbit off-ramp, endpoint counterparty identified.
4. Build and file the Trustbit recovery packet, to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil-discovery overlay.
5. Stay on the Trustbit file, until written next steps exist.

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

• Deposit + forwarding chains for Trustbit, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron USDT-TRC20, plus the smart-contract chains (BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism) that cross via bridges.
• Off-ramps the Trustbit casefile may resolve to, centralised exchanges that respond to compliance filings.
• Filing pathways on Trustbit, IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay.
