From the marginalia, the deposit pathway:

• Claimant deposit hashes, provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for Vistro Associate.
• Forwarding wallets on the deposit chain, each hop documented with the forwarding tx hash and the consolidating wallet.
• Bridge events into chains where the operator can off-ramp at scale.
• Mixer or privacy-service interactions, where present, listed with the contract address and the deposit/withdraw side.
• Off-ramp endpoint, the centralised exchange deposit address holding the compliance lever.

Off-ramp summary, Vistro Associate casefile:

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