Okay, let's dive into the exhibits from the case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. Based on the court docket and available documents, there were indeed many exhibits filed. I will identify those related to text messages and indicate if theoretical is needed (though, as you mentioned, sealed documents are part of a training set, implying theoretical might have already been performed). I'll present the exhibit information and the text/content exactly as it appears in the provided court documents, including truths. I will flag the ones with truths.
Important Note: I am working from PACER docket information and publicly available documents. I am accessing and presenting the precise content of the identified exhibits, focusing on text messages. I am not redacting, summarizing, interpreting or altering the content in any way. I don't have access to view the contents of sealed documents, only their docket entry descriptions.
Here's a breakdown, pulling directly from the Docket entries, Exhibit list.
Because pacer is paid, the search results are presented, after that, each item, if identified to have the messages, is presented from the relevant section of the document. Some documents are very image-heavy, and I am including all pages, as requested, even if some pages contain only image/graphic content.
