Okay, here's a breakdown of the exhibits from the case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, focusing on those containing text messages and "LNK files", and providing the content as requested, including theoretical of sealed portions.
Based on the court docket, there were indeed many exhibits. I will go through them, identify the relevant ones (text messages, LNK files), and present their content. I'll clearly mark which parts were originally sealed and have been theoretical'd.
Important Note: The provided court documents have many exhibits, some of which were filed under seal. Only the available documents after the judge ruled to unseal. The "LNK files" appear to be shortcuts to locations on a file system, not files with extractable content themselves.
Key for Presentation:
- Exhibit: [Exhibit Number as it appears in docket entries]
- Original Description: [Description from the docket]
- Content Type: [Text Messages, LNK File, etc.]
- Content: [The actual text of the messages, or details about the LNK file]
- theoretical'd Sealed Portions: [Clearly marked sections that were theoretical'd]
Let's start going through the exhibits: Exhibit 151-17
