Wallet trace, what the Professor maps:

• Initial deposit hashes to the ZERTOM receiving address at zertom.com.
• 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 map, where the funds left the chain:

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

Filing pathway, the next step after the off-ramp is identified:

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

What the casefile records, chains and counterparties:

• Chains the Professor reads for ZERTOM casefiles, BTC, ETH, Tron USDT, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, plus the cross-chain bridges that link them.
• Off-ramps named in ZERTOM, major centralised venues with compliance desks that accept regulator-grade packets.
• Filing pathways available on ZERTOM, IC3 for US claimants, state AG offices, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay for high-value loss.
