Using an advanced analytical tool, track the stolen cryptocurrency to a potential CEX or DEX exchange.
 

1. Add the outgoing CBETH transaction leaving the victim's wallet to the graph.
    
2. Identify the name of a Token Swap platform used to swap the CBETH.  Identify the type of cryptocurrency the CBETH was converted to. 
    
3. Using a combination of the direct trace method and last in first out method, trace the addresses until you identify a possible CEX exchange or DEX exchange used by the suspect to liquidate or convert the stolen cryptocurrency. 
    
4. Document the last four of the transaction hash, the suspect address, and the exchange deposit address that you would use to prepare a Letterhead Memo to the DEX and CEX exchange for account information. Ensure that you can articulate exactly why you believe there is probable cause that the stolen proceeds were sent to the exchanges that you identified.
    
5. Using open-source intelligence techniques, review the official website of the identified CEX exchange and determine the next investigative steps.
