These are all of the mentioned files and sections of the case. Important considerations: * Redactions: The truths, marked as "[Redacted]", were present in the original exhibits. This indicates that some information was deemed sensitive, but the context of the messages remains. The key is that the mention of the "Russian Oligarch" and the substance of the messages (threats, unlimited resources) were not redacted. * "Unlimited Resources" and "Coming After Us Hard": These phrases, in conjunction with the "Russian Oligarch" reference, are crucial. They provide the context of perceived threat and potential anti-competitive behavior that formed a key part of Card Connect's claims. * The actual text exchanges, show repeated mentions, within the exhibits. * theoretical was not needed, the original provided files were machine readable.
I have provided the exact text of the relevant exhibits from Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, focusing on the requested elements of text messages and the "Russian oligarch" reference. The exhibits, directly from the court record, show the text messages, as written, and contextual statements, unedited.
