It appears to be a conversation between Taylor Lavery and Jared Isaacman, concerning customer issues
[Redacted ]
It continues from there. They are.
They aren't
[Redacted.
And I can't
They say.
I can't seem to get ahold of

I am not having much luck either.
I messaged [Redacted]. No answer.
Call me.

Jared Isaacman
[Redacted] called me this am.
He said he had a conversation with
[Redacted] and isn't happy.
That bridge is burned...
I would not communicate with
him anymore or do anything to
help on gateway conversions.
They are not our partner.
SEP 27, 2019, 10:31 AM
Good to know.
- Page 5 (of the PDF, Bates labeled IMG_0225) Another part. The overall thread appears to involve shifting customers and dealing with issues.

possible to help them and.
[Redacted]

I am sure there is lots of good
stuff on those emails with
[Redacted] too
SEP 27, 2019, 10:41 AM
We have to pull the plug on gateway
migrations to them.
Do not answer their questions or
help.
I do not want them getting any value

Jared Isaacman
This is a bummer on many levels.
I just can't see how they can
move forward as a company
without the gateway.
And those [Redacted] clowns
will never figure out how to
take it over.
Not a chance in the world
It's the hardest part of our whole
platform
Can you imagine if our gateway
team quite to go work there?

Bad move
SEP 28, 2019, 9:24 AM
Agreed
I never thought he was that
bright.
I'm shocked he has lasted this
long.
I just have zero respect for the guy Jared
Isaacman.
Hes a mealy mouth.
If you ever met him it's clear
he's a light weight.
He has an MBA from some.
