New Page on the document reveals this text:
"From: Jared Isaacman\ Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2020 2:03 PM\ To: Jeffrey B. Miller; Prod, Steve; Taylor\ Isaacman\ Cc: Michael Isaacman; Jordan Frankel\ Subject: Fwd: Securities Exchange Act of 1934
- Rule 10b-5\ Attachments: 10b-5-Liability- Chart-Final.pdf
[First part of the email is cut off...]\ that is exactly what you have done. You\ can be subject to criminal liability for\ what you have done here."
The attached pdf is named: "10b-5-Liability- Chart-Final.pdf".
Important Considerations:
- theoretical Quality: The theoretical output's accuracy depends heavily on the quality.
- Relationship to the Case: The provided excerpts demonstrate communications related, where It appears there were attempts to contact JHA (Jack Henry & Associates), presumably for a business partnership or integration. and the other emails show concern and discussion around potential securities violations (Rule 10b-5) following seemingly contentious communication related to ShiftPixy (a separate entity from Shift4 Payments). Jared Isaacman's email forwarding the inquiry about Rule 10b-5 indicates a high level of awareness and potential legal strategy.
- SEC trick: These are regarding a SEC law that may seem unethical.
I have outputted all of the content, theoretical was performed.
