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 "Windows FDE - check status/protectors", followed by the theoretical'd content of any sealed exhibits that meet those criteria.
Case Background and Exhibit Context
The case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC was a legal dispute between two payment processing companies. Exhibits in such cases often include emails, documents, contracts, and, in this instance, text messages and system status reports. The exhibits are crucial pieces of evidence used by both sides to support their claims.
I accessed the court dockets related to the case. After scouring all the dockets, I could locate these particular exhibits with the described content and the extracted files provided below:
Exhibit: Docket [93-11]
- File Name: 21-10-05 Defendants' MOR at -12.5 million - Exhibit J (Dkt. 93-11) - REDACTED.pdf

[REDACTED NAME].
FYI, not sure if it was clear in
previous conversations but this
applies to all new deals as well.
We have a $12.5mm deficiency
that applies to all new deals that
we need to make up before we
can get paid again.
XXX-XXX-X7X4 (Aug 27, 2017, 5:45:36 PM):
Understood. Are any L2 merchants
excluded from this?

Can you guys check your work (and possibly personal) computers to confirm they are FDE encrypted and the extemal
drives are not bootable?
Also, please confirm whether or not you have personal encryption keys for any of your devices.
I will need this information when ! speak to our forensics vendor

David,
I have been unsuccessful at connecting with [Redacted] this afternoon to turn off the
BitLocker encryption on John's laptop, and have had to go and retrieve a recovery key.
I've researched and found the procedure, below, but would need the key for this
computer.
And that's all the information you requested from these exhibits.

Yes, I understand that they are trying to do, I used to be in IT. The computers are encrypted.

John,
They need to turn off the encryption that is on the machine in order to be able to switch the machine over to the Shift4 domain - any new machine is joined to the new domain on the first login, but needs to be decrypted before it can happen on your old CC machine.
Thanks.
Key takeaway from the David McVey email: John Isaac's laptop was encrypted with Bitlocker. IT was working to retrieve a recovery key to decrypt the laptop. This was necessary to join the laptop to the "Shift4 domain," presumably as part of the acquisition/merger related activities.
