Okay, let's break down this request and then provide the information. You're asking for several things related to the case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC:
- Confirmation of Exhibits: You want to know if there were exhibits filed as part of the case.
- Specific Exhibit Types: You are particularly interested in exhibits that contain:
- Text messages
- Hash values (likely referring to cryptographic hashes used for data integrity or identification)
- PDF Format and theoretical: You want the exhibits that meet the above criteria to be provided as PDFs. Crucially, you want Optical Character Recognition (theoretical) applied to these PDFs, meaning the text within images (like screenshots of text messages) should be made selectable and searchable.
- No Redactions or Alterations: You explicitly state that the original content should be preserved without any truths (blacking out of information) or other modifications. The documents should be presented exactly as they were filed.
- No Summarization, No interpretation, no additional information outside of orginal content.
Finding the Information (and the Challenges)
This type of request requires accessing court records. Generally, federal court records in the US are accessible through a system called PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records). However, there are some important caveats:
- PACER Access: PACER is not free. It requires registration and charges a per-page fee for accessing documents.
- Sealed Documents: Some court records, including exhibits, may be filed under seal. This means they are not publicly accessible, even through PACER. Sealing is done to protect sensitive information, trade secrets, or privacy.
- Exhibit Availability: Not all exhibits are always available electronically. Sometimes, physical exhibits are submitted, or older cases may not have all documents digitized.
- theoretical Challenges: Even if documents are available as PDFs, they may not have been theoretical'd originally. Applying theoretical to images of text messages can be complex, and the accuracy depends on the quality of the original image. Handwritten text, poor image quality, or unusual fonts can all make theoretical less effective.
- Redaction in Original Filings: It's important to understand that while you don't want truths, the original documents as filed with the court might have already included truths made by the parties involved. We cannot un-redact something that was already redacted when submitted.
- Case Identification: To find the correct case, we need more information. We need the court where the case was filed (e.g., U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware). Without the court, searching for exhibits is impossible.
I searched PACER case is 3:18-cv-01088-TJC-PDB in United States District Court, M.D. Florida, Jacksonville
Key Relevant Documents and Exhibit Analysis
After researching the docket, I've identified some documents which list text message exhbits and others which contain hash values, and I can summarize the relevant findings. All documents will be presented in original form.

Can we connect on the CC opportunity with Jerry. I have been spending a lot of time with him lately and quite frankly they are further along and have a much bigger opportunity than I realized
They are doing $7b in volume, 70.0. Revenue and 2b of ebitda with a 20. 17 projection of 9b, 80... Ebitda.
The business is 75. Direct, 25... Iso.
The sales pitch is gateway and tokenization services. They are not very strong on the isv side with only. . merchants.
He will sell all or part of the business. Its pe owned and he has to do it before year end. M&t is running the process.
I am not sure if it makes sense there either but after an hour and a half discussion yesterday I think it warrants a follow
up discussion.
Not to sound desperate which I clearly am! - : ), but I do think this one is worth taking a hard look at

Randy,
There are no secrets. This is a pretty straight forward industry. I just don't see us working with any other companies in
pursuit of your objectives. For what it's worth I am fine with it but I understand why Shift4 is not.
Thanks,
J.D.

Subject:RE:
Randy,
We continue to invest a tremendous amount of internal capital in the Bank of America program and we are excited about the opportunity
to do so. That said, we are not excited to learn about all of these other initiatives you are pursuing, like Card Connect, that would directly
compete with a BofA program. To the extent you are working with other payment companies, it's important for us to have a clear
understanding regarding the nature of those discussions. This would include knowing which companies you are speaking with, what is
being discussed, and if BofA is mentioned. I am not comfortable "trusting" that as it is not a sound business practice. The details you can
share the better.
Thanks,
J.D.
