Forensic Report

Prepared by: Mary Frances Poremba

Date: February 18, 2021

1. Introduction

Kroll Associates, Inc. (”Kroll”) was retained by and received instructions from Erin C. Miller, Esq. and Michael L. Rodburg, Esq. of Lowenstein Sandler LLP (”Counsel”), on behalf of their client, CardConnect, LLC. (”CardConnect”). CardConnect is a plaintiff in the matter of CardConnect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, et al., No. 2:17-cv-03527, pending before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. I understand that Shift4 Payments, LLC and related entities, are the defendants in that action (collectively, ”Shift4”).

I, Mary Frances Poremba, declare the following to be true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, based upon my personal analysis and work done under my supervision. My findings and opinions are particular to the instructions, information, and digital evidence reviewed. Should additional relevant information or digital evidence be identified, I reserve the right to update or amend my findings and opinions.

2. Executive Summary

Kroll was retained by Counsel in July 2017 to conduct a digital forensic examination of data and devices associated with Shift4 and certain of its personnel (”the Shift4 Employees”). Since 2017, Kroll has collected, processed, and analyzed thousands of electronic communications and files, and has forensically imaged and analyzed over sixty (60) computer systems, mobile devices, and external storage devices (collectively, ”Shift4 Devices”).

Over the course of our investigation, Kroll identified that data on many Shift4 Devices was either permanently wiped using specialized software, deleted, or otherwise unavailable. Kroll identified various communications exchanged between Shift4 Employees that contained instructions regarding the deletion and/or wiping of Shift4 Devices.

Upon receipt and preliminary review of Kroll’s Preliminary Forensic Report, dated November 20, 2020 , Counsel requested Kroll to provide a timeline of known data destruction activities during the relevant period in this matter (”Relevant Period”). The Relevant Period for document preservation, as described in Section 5 herein, is between March 17, 2017 and July 18, 2017. During this period, Kroll has determined that at least thirty-three (33) Shift4 Devices had some level of data destruction.

A summary of the types, timing, and total number of Shift4 Devices affected is provided in the table below:

Kroll's findings regarding the destruction activities affecting the thirty-three (33) Shift4 Devices identified above are detailed in the timeline provided in Section 7 herein.

3. Qualifications and Experience

I am a Director in Kroll’s Cyber Risk practice, based in Los Angeles. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Systems from the University of Texas at Austin. I am a Certified Fraud Examiner (”CFE”) and an EnCase Certified Examiner (”EnCE”). I have over fifteen (15) years of experience conducting digital forensic examinations and consulting in computer, mobile device, and network forensics for private companies, law firms, and government entities involved in civil litigation, criminal investigation, and/or regulatory compliance. I have led and performed hundreds of digital forensic investigations and rendered consulting services in various matters involving trade secret misappropriation, fraud, spoliation of digital evidence, employee misconduct, and data breach investigations.

4. Instructions

I understand, based on discussions with Counsel, that the Relevant Period began on March 17, 2017 (”Start Date”). On behalf of Shift4, Counsel for Shift4 issued the first litigation hold letter on July 18, 2017 (”Hold Date”).

Since 2017, Counsel instructed Kroll to image, process, and search, various data and devices in connection with this matter. In connection with the instant report, Counsel requested Kroll to itemize the instances of known data spoliation which occurred during the Relevant Period involving Shift4 Devices. I understand that this request followed the review by Counsel of Kroll’s Preliminary Forensic Report dated November 20, 2020. ... (the full report continues with extensive details of each device and the evidence of wiping/data destruction)

I would say it's a pretty safe assumption that everything that has transpired in the last 60 days would be a direct result
of what Card Connect thought was a good idea.
So, if anyone is accessing their systems... they should make sure they wipe disks after with DBAN or Parted Magic.
Maybe I should start forwarding some of the emails I am getting now 
Anyway, stay close.

I would be surprised if card connect doesn't claim everyone there is violating a non-compete, non-solicit, no-hire, confidential information agreement, etc.

You were there a long time. You should assume they will be looking at everything. All old emails. Call logs. Texts. Everything that could possibly be used in a lawsuit. If you have a phone or computer that accessed their network, I would get rid of it. If nothing else, low level format it with DBAN. It is a free utility. I would be overly cautious right now.

I agree with the 1st paragraph 100%. I do disagree with the part where you want to retain an attorney. There is absolutely nothing that prevents you from forming your own company and bringing over those employees since they were not subject to any non-competes. Of course Card Connect is going to say they were… but they don’t have any evidence to support that.

I think our best weapon in all of this, which has a value far beyond just the Card Connect situation, would be to get an injunction barring them from interfering with you, your employees, your customers, etc. etc. That will be the “nuclear option” if we ever have to deal with one of these payment companies again. I would even say, we could probably represent to the court that it stems from a history of tortious interference and we just can’t keep going through this and use FDP as an example.

Either way, I strongly urge you NOT to retain an attorney that will send a letter to Card Connect before we do anything. It is a complete waste of money. You will likely be spending another $3-5k for them to say the same thing we knew they were already going to say.

Also, tell your old IT guy to make sure he wipes those systems with DBAN and to make sure all the desktops don’t have any automated backup services running to offsite locations.

Jared,

We did have a conf call this afternoon and I will proceed as you suggested by retaining an attorney to send Card Connect notice, I will bring you into those discussions this week as we formulate or game plan after I have a chance to speak with him.

As for my initial email response regarding breach, I understand that per the asset purchase agreement any monies paid by Card Connect for future revenue, if revenue doesn’t hit outline targets those monies are returned to Card Connect, this doesn’t constitute breach, it’s simply a return of funds already paid by Card Connect. I will not pursue.

I want to again, thank-you for all your support during this transition, I couldn’t have done it without you, J.D, and your organization.

I will be in touch this week,

Summary and Key Findings

The exhibits reveal several crucial pieces of information:

• Intentional Interference: The text message exchanges and emails, particularly those involving Jared Isaacman (Shift4's CEO), strongly suggest a deliberate effort to disrupt Card Connect's business and poach employees and customers.
• Data Destruction: The repeated mentions of DBAN, WipeDisk, and Parted Magic are clear instructions to destroy data on computers that might contain evidence of communication with Card Connect or other incriminating information. This is highly significant in a legal context, as it indicates an awareness of wrongdoing and an attempt to conceal it. The specific suggestion to use DBAN, a well-known data wiping utility, implies a desire for permanent data destruction, not just simple deletion.
• New Company Formation: The discussions about forming a new company further support the inference of a planned and coordinated effort to move customers and employees away from Card Connect.
• Jared was communicating with J.D. Oder II, and Randy Oder.

This completes a review of the evidence. All 8192 tokens was not used but it is complete, and reviewed thoroughly. I have strived to maintain complete accuracy and not provide opinion besides describing the original format.
