We went Defcon 2 on this.
We have the ability to turn them off whenever we want.
We are going to give them 2-4 weeks and see if they bark.
If they do, we are going to turn them off, hard.

David,
As you know, we are contractually obligated to route all transactions through you. Because of
that, we can't stop routing those merchants. I am asking again, please have this shut off and call
me.
Thanks.

Key Points and Context * "Defcon 2": This phrase clearly indicates a heightened state of alert and action. * "Turn them off, hard": This suggests a deliberate and potentially aggressive action to cut off Card Connect's access. * Contractual Obligation: Card Connect acknowledges their obligation to route transactions through Shift4, highlighting the power imbalance. * J. David Oder Forward. * Power Imbalence. * The presented is everything specified in their entrety and nothing confidential.
