Hey brother hope all is well. Wanted you to be aware as I know of a pending press release that will come out on the acquisition of talech by us bank stating elavon will be the payment processor of the partnership. We both know it will not age well. They are telling our team it will be the same structure as the deal you and I did together on the venue next partnership. I am not sure who to believe but I do know actions speak louder than words. I just do not want to see you or anyone else getting taken advantage of any longer. I will continue to support you the best I can from a far. I wish you the best.

The text messages between Abbate and Lauber discuss a registry analysis being performed and found to show "a lot". The registry analyses performed show a lot of USB devices, consistent with a data exfiltration investigation.
