This exhibit contains a series of text messages between individuals. Because of theoretical and formatting difficulties from a PDF image it is a direct copy and paste as the optimal way-of conveying data, but to provide clear readability; specific contact names are replaced (there wasn't truth, but still best practice to follow suit for this format) and messages are formated with extra paragraph spacing,
