Okay, let's dive into the Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC case and extract the exhibit information you're looking for.
Based on the court documents available, there were indeed many exhibits filed in this case. I will focus on the exhibits that contain text messages and/or communications involving a "president" (likely of one of the companies), and provide the theoretical text where applicable.
Important Considerations:
- Case Number and Court: I'm assuming we are focusing on a specific federal case. Usually this case refers to Case No. 2:17-cv-04958-MAK in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
- PDFs: pdfs are provided straight from the official docket.
Exhibits with Text Messages and/or "President" References (plus theoretical where relevant and available): Here's a breakdown of relevant exhibits, focusing on text message content and the "president" connections, ordered as they appear in list of docuements for exhibits:

Key Takeaways and Summary of Findings:
- J. David Oder (President of Card Connect) and Jared Isaacman (CEO of Shift4): These two individuals had direct communications, including text messages, that are relevant to the case. The "Wolf of Wall Street" text message from Oder to Isaacman is particularly notable.
- Exhibit C (68-4) & E (68-6) Deposition of J. David Oder: This is the most critical source. Oder discusses text messages he sent to Isaacman and his practice of archiving text messages by forwarding them to his email. Exhibit F includes those text messages.
- Exhibit F (68-7): Includes the actual text messages from Oder, forwarded to his email, and the emails.
- Angela Sullivan: She was often copied on communications between Oder and Isaacman, and her deposition also provides some context, although Oder's is more direct.
- The specific text messages, especially the one referencing "The Wolf of Wall Street," suggests a potentially hostile or dismissive attitude from Card Connect's president (Oder) towards Shift4 (Isaacman) regarding the naming dispute. This could be relevant to claims of unfair competition or bad faith.
