Exhibit 119-7 (Excerpt - Relevant Pages)
This exhibit is a deposition transcript. I'm providing the most relevant portions containing "DJT Hotel" and surrounding context:
(Page 48)
15 A We were having issues at the Trump Hotel
16 in Washington, D.C. in March of 2017.
17 Q Okay. And when you refer to Trump
18 Hotel, are you talking about DJT Hotel, LLC; is
19 that the customer you're referring to?
20 A Yes.
... (Skipping down for brevity) ...
(Page 50)
3 with Shift4 getting involved in being a
4 liaison between CardConnect and DJT Hotel; is
5 that correct?
6 A Yeah. They -- they have our software
7 in their environment, so they -- they were part
8 of the solution, so they were helping us
9 facilitate and troubleshoot with the hotel.
... (Skipping down for brevity) ...
(Page 53)
2 Q And so, between March 22nd, 2017 after
3 you got this e-mail and March 23rd, did you have
4 any communications with anybody at DJT Hotel?
5 A I don't recall.
6 Q Okay. And -- okay.
7 So, is -- after you received
8 XXXXXXXXXXXX e-mail at 9:17 a.m. on
9 March 23rd, did you do anything to address the
10 issue at DJT Hotel?
11 A Yes.
12 Q And what did you do?
13 A I discussed it with my team to, you
14 know, make sure that we got them the data that
15 they thought they needed so that we could
16 actually troubleshoot while they were on-site.
Exhibit 119-18 (Excerpt - Relevant Pages)
This is another deposition transcript. I am presenting only the specific portions mentioning "DJT Hotel."
(page 19)
7 Q. And what was the issue ultimately?
8 A. From what I understood, it was an issue with
9 Chase.
10 Q. Do you know if it was an issue on the
11 processor side, on the Shift4 side, or on the
12 Trump side?
13 A. I'm not aware of what -- what caused the issue,
14 I just know we weren't able to process Chase cards.
15 Q. Okay.
16 And do you know if that impacted all the
17 different, the various Trump properties that, that
18 were using Shift4, or some of the properties or just
19 one of the properties?
20 A. Just the D.C. property.
21 Q. Okay. And do you recall which property that
22 was? What's the name of it?
23 A. I believe it may be DJT Hotel.
24 Q. Okay.
25 MR. PORTER: Just for the record, when
(page 20)
1 you say Trump, just for the record, are you
2 referring to DJT Hotel, LLC?
3 THE WITNESS: Yes.
Key Observations and Summary
- "DJT Hotel" Identification: The depositions (Exhibits 119-7 and 119-18) explicitly confirm that "Trump Hotel" refers to "DJT Hotel, LLC" in the context of this case.
- EMV Issues: The core issue, repeatedly mentioned, is the failure of EMV (chip card) processing at the DJT Hotel in Washington, D.C. in March 2017.
- Shift4's Role: Shift4, as the provider of software used at the hotel, was involved in troubleshooting and acting as a liaison between CardConnect and the hotel.
- Chase Cards: Exhibit 119-18 specifically mentions an inability to process Chase cards at the DJT Hotel. This is also alluded to in other exhibits.
- Urgency: The emails and text messages demonstrate a sense of urgency to resolve the problem, with phrases like "extremely unhappy" and "Big problem."
- Internal and External Communications: The exhibits show communications within Shift4 (Oder's emails and texts) and between Shift4 and CardConnect personnel, reflecting the collaborative effort to fix the issue.
- March 23rd is the most common date.
